I'd suggest doing mScope.PH = editScope.  That will create a rule which will 
get cached and will generally run faster than passing the string directly.

The only other thing I can think of is maybe there's something odd w/ rule 
being produced because "editScope" is a dynamic object in SetupEdit so 
"mScope.SetVariable("PH", editScope);" ends up dispatching dynamically.  If you 
did "mScope.SetVariable("PH", (object)editScope);" it would dispatch statically.

If neither of those solutions helps I can see if I can look deeper and see if I 
can repro it.  There were some issues w/ IronPython 2.6 where this was really 
slow but they should have been fixed w/ 2.6.1.

Subject: [IronPython] ScriptScope.SetVariable() performance

Hello,

I'm trying to get more performance out of my IronPython scripts inside one of 
my applications, and noticed I'm spending the bulk of my time setting up the 
ScriptScope prior to execution.  My applications translates information coming 
from a flat file, and I use IronPython to enforce business rules on various 
records that I pull from my input file.  The object that I'm passing to the 
scope is custom implementation of the ExpandoObject.

Am I doing anything out of the ordinary here, or is there a better way to get 
the performance I'm after?  It doesn't seem like setting up the script should 
performance significantly slower than executing the script itself.

Here is an example of the performance results I'm getting.  I'm keeping track 
of various timings for execution time, but the script setup timer is really 
just stopping and starting a stopwatch before and after each call to 
ScriptScope.SetVariable()...

SetProviderType and SetFeeSchedule are both IronPython scripts, the other three 
are C# edits that I'm passing my ExpandoObject directly to.

4.667 E+005 = almost 8 minutes...
1.108 E+002 = .1 seconds


Thanks in advance for any advice you can help me with.
