ToArray vs ToList vs ToImmutableArray vs ToImmutableList

Program.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Collections.Immutable;
using System.Linq;
using BenchmarkDotNet.Attributes;
using BenchmarkDotNet.Running;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            BenchmarkRunner.Run<Bench>();
        }
    }

    public class Bench
    {
        private const int _count = 10000;

        IEnumerable<int> Do(Func<IEnumerable<int>, IEnumerable<int>>f) =>
            f(f(Enumerable.Range(0, _count)).Where(x => x % 2 == 0));


        [Benchmark]
        public IEnumerable<int> ToImmutableArray() => Do(x => x.ToImmutableArray());

        [Benchmark]
        public IEnumerable<int> ToArray() => Do(x => x.ToArray());

        [Benchmark]
        public IEnumerable<int> ToList() => Do(x => x.ToList());

        [Benchmark]
        public IEnumerable<int> ToImmutableList() => Do(x => x.ToImmutableList());
    }
}

So the result is ?

Super late but result is here: https://der-waldgeist.blogspot.com/2017/07/toarray-vs-tolist-vs-toimmutablearray.html

Slightly modified:

public class Bench
{
    private const int _count = 10000;

    IEnumerable<int> Do(Func<IEnumerable<int>, IEnumerable<int>> f) =>
        f(f(Enumerable.Range(0, _count)));

    [Benchmark]
    public ImmutableArray<int> ToImmutableArray() => (ImmutableArray<int>)Do(x => x.ToImmutableArray());

    [Benchmark]
    public int[] ToArray() => (int[])Do(x => x.ToArray());

    [Benchmark]
    public List<int> ToList() => (List<int>)Do(x => x.ToList());

    [Benchmark]
    public IImmutableList<int> ToImmutableList() => (IImmutableList<int>)Do(x => x.ToImmutableList());
}

Result:
