Hi Are class methods generally measured to be faster than instance methods since it doesn’t require loading an instance? If so, should we use class methods when possible?
Thanks
I don’t know about generally, but I remember measuring for some application some time ago, and static methods were indeed faster.
From a design standpoint I would argue that any method than can sensibly be static (meaning without explicitly passing an instance as parameter or something like that), should be.
