You’re right to say there can be performance issues with lambdas and the ActionLink you mention is a perfect example (even though the MvcContrib.FluentHtml assembly doesn’t actually contain an ActionLink helper). The ActionLink helper in the MVC Futures project got pulled out because <strong>passing a variable as parameter of the lambda expression had an impact on performance</strong>. See<a href="http://haacked.com/archive/2009/06/02/alternative-to-expressions.aspx" rel="nofollow"> Phil Haack’s ‘An Alternative Approach To Strongly Typed Helpers’</a> blog post for more information. The examples in this blog post don't have the same problem. If you use the MvcContrib.FluentHtml like many people are, I doubt performance will be an issue no matter how many visitors your site gets.

For example, ActionLink(c=>c.Update()) is totally a performance killer. too slow to apply to any serious web site. How about the performance with lambda?
