Which is faster, Convert.ToXX() or xx.Parse(yy.ToString())?
<p>I'm trying to make a method faster. Right now, it takes an <code>object obj</code> and converts it to a double with the following:</p>

<pre><code>double val = Convert.ToDouble(obj);
</code></pre>

<p>Would it be faster if I did this?</p>

<pre><code>double val = double.Parse(obj.ToString());
</code></pre>
