Hello,
Being curious about the performance implications of using NSInvocation vs
Objective-C message send vs IMP-cached message send, I was surprised to see how
much slower NSInvocation seems to be compared to the other two mechanisms (the
following data was last collected on Leopard, so these results could have
changed in SnowLeopard):
Name Iterations Total time (sec) Time per (ns)
IMP-cached message send 1000000000 0.7
0.7
Objective-C message send 1000000000 4.9 4.9
NSInvocation message send 10000000 0.8 77.3
The above metrics can be found here:
