How much speed difference does there have to be to matter? My guess is that it will make no practical difference. "Speed" is a nebulous concept in software applications and is affected by so many factors. The only way to reliably assess speed is to run your app under realistic conditions with the alternatives, and see how they compare. Dr. Knuth famously said, "Premature optimization is the root of all evil." Since they are my own services I don't care to much about type-safety. You can never care too much about type safety. You should revise your attitude on that one. -- Lew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
