Does delegates or delegated properties uses Reflections under the hood? For example, I want to use them for server side projects then performance will be the first priority. So should I use them or not?

[nanodeath]

there's several levels of indirection, but IIRC there's no reflection

[nanodeath]

though the delegates do get passed a KProperty, which might qualify

[Shreyas Patil]

Yes

Also if you have all of the delegate operators as inline and you don't use the kproperty object anywhere inside of the operators then the kproperties just never get created
