DataBinder.Eval() : bad performance ! alternatives ?

[Don Pedro]

According to the documentation for the DataBinder class's Eval method should
it only be used with discretion due to the fact it is latebound and uses
reflection.

"CAUTION Since this method performs late-bound evaluation, using
reflection, at runtime, it can cause performance to noticeably slow compared
to standard ASP.NET data-binding syntax."

I have heard people talk about a 30% performance loss in comparison to other
methods, but what are these methods and what alternatives are there to using
this (very nice for RAD) method ?
