Performance of 'is' vs typeof (Reflection) in C#

Stopwatch s = new Stopwatch();
            s.Start();

            for (int i = 0; i < 100000000; i++)
            {
                CNDSegment segment = new CNDSegment();
                if (segment is CNDSegment == false)
                {

                }
            }
            s.Stop();

            Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Time taken by is {0} milliseconds", s.ElapsedMilliseconds));
            s.Reset();
            s.Start();

            for (int i = 0; i < 100000000; i++)
            {
                CNDSegment segment = new CNDSegment();
                if (segment.GetType() != typeof(CNDSegment))
                {

                }
            }

            s.Stop();
            Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Time taken by GetType and typeof method {0} milliseconds", s.ElapsedMilliseconds));

Performance results for 100000000 comparisions
Time taken by is 1338 milliseconds
Time taken by GetType and typeof method 5050 milliseconds
