I could see that CodeDOM could be costly for generating runnable procedures, but the code it generates should execute at the same speed as if you ran the C# or C++ compiler from the command line for running on the CLR. In certain applications, CLR or JVM costs could be too costly but there are already plenty of people tolerating JIT or even interpreter costs in their simulations. And of course it is also possible to generate native CPU instructions with Microsoft (or Mono) compilers as well.
