In response to all the postings in response to this posting:
Sorry. I read a few books by Francesco Balena, and he
says that this should be minimized where possible. I went
back to find a specific reference, and this is one thing he
says that is confirmed by the other responses to this post:
In general, it doesn't make sense to compare the performance
of a method that uses boxing with a similar method that doesn't.
An informal benchmark shows that a tight loop that calls a function
that requires boxing can be up to 30 times slower than a loop that
doesn't use boxing. However, you must repeat the loop 10 million
times to see a meaningful difference in absolute terms, so in
practice you should worry about boxing only in time-critical
code sections.
So I apologize, and will be more careful in the future with
information that I post.

It takes a lot of resources, so it should be minimized.
