I found this article about Lazy: Laziness in C# 4.0 – Lazy
What is the best practice to have best performance using Lazy objects? Can someone point me to a practical use in a real application? In other words, when should I use it?

This enables the Lazy<T> object to create a copy of the lazily initialized object on each of several threads if the threads call the Value property simultaneously. The Lazy<T> object ensures that all threads use the same instance of the lazily initialized object and discards the instances that are not used.
Using the Lazy<T> class in C# Although you can write your own custom code to implement lazy initialization, Microsoft recommends using the Lazy<T> class instead. The Lazy<T> class in the System namespace in C# was introduced as part of . Net Framework 4.0 to provide a thread-safe way to implement lazy initialization.
By default, Lazy<T> objects are thread-safe. That is, if the constructor does not specify the kind of thread safety, the Lazy<T> objects it creates are thread-safe.
Lazy loading is a concept where we delay the loading of the object until the point where we need it. Putting in simple words, on demand object loading rather than loading objects unnecessarily.
You typically use it when you want to instantiate something the first time its actually used. This delays the cost of creating it till if/when it's needed instead of always incurring the cost.
Usually this is preferable when the object may or may not be used and the cost of constructing it is non-trivial.
