In WPF that statement is true, however, most of the reflection in WPF is

I have seen this quite a few times.
It is not only how good a compiler/JIT is, but how things get coded as
well.
Sometimes before reaching for C and C++, it would be enough to use the
right data structures or algorithms.

Well that's kind of my point. The method they used to draw a circle was
about the most naive possible way it could be done with the tools they
had. In short, the algorithm they used is stupidly brute force.
