Here is an example.

julia> using Colors, BenchmarkTools

julia> rgb_f64 = rand(RGB{Float64}, 1000);

julia> @btime convert.(XYZ{Float64}, $rgb_f64);
  130.900 μs (5760 allocations: 113.48 KiB)

julia> precompile(Tuple{typeof(convert), Type{XYZ{Float64}}, RGB{Float64}}) # for example
true

julia> @btime convert.(XYZ{Float64}, $rgb_f64);
  130.900 μs (5760 allocations: 113.48 KiB)

julia> @noinline Colors.pow12_5(x::Float64) = x^2 * exp(0.4 * log(x)) # force invalidation (the body is not changed)

julia> @btime convert.(XYZ{Float64}, $rgb_f64);
  50.700 μs (2 allocations: 23.52 KiB)
