What are all the performance costs associated with subclassing TPersistent

information.
There is none.
I noticed in my project there is an extra .6 seconds of compile time when
I make the changes but are there any other performance costs to consider
during runt time or otherwise? I could deal with .6 seconds at compile
even though 95% of that is waste but runtime is another story.
The overhead is most likely due to writing of RTTI tables.
They are static, and add to the size of the binary, but do not incur speed
penalties.
