Given the context on the last few posts. I've made a simple helper method in C# that can take a simple powershell hashtable and create a PSCustomObject based on it. Here is an example of how you can call it.

Based on the performance testing and work being done by myself , mow , Brandon Shell and others the question has come up what is the quickest way to generate a PSCustomObject, whether in script , on in C#, and how do you even do it in C#?

I've spend a lot of time in the past looking at the performance of PowerShell but have never gotten around to blogging about it.

Below is a quick function that I wrote that I have been using for the last year or so.
