## New typeclass derivation scheme
176+
177+
Summary of measured differences with the old scheme:
178+
179+
- About 100 lines more compiler code - the rest of the lines changed diff is
180+
tests.
181+
- About 13-15% more code generated for typeclass instances
182+
- About 3-4% slower to compile typeclass instances
183+
184+
Advantages of new scheme:
185+
186+
- Fewer allocations, since mirrors (`Generic` has been renamed to `Mirror`) are
187+
usually shared instead of being allocated at runtime.
188+
- It works well even if there are no derives clauses. The old scheme would
189+
generate more code in that case.
190+
- Complete decoupling between derives clauses and mirror generation.
