Hi out there,

I am taking a seminar in Object Oriented Programming, and now the class
seems to believe that OOP is slower than Procedure-programming.
An article in Byte in 86 argues that it could be 50 % slower.

I want to help this belief out of the world!
 Does anyone have any comments?
Or is C++, and Smalltalk slower than regular C ???

The basic argument is that the computer would spend too much time trying to
find the right "METHOD" in the tree of inherited "METHODS", since OBJECTS
inherit a lot of "METHODS". Is this TRUE?

I will make some kind of summary, and send it to the net.
Unfortunately I can only get COMP.SYS.AMIGA (thru a bitnet gateway)
