They're virtual if they override base class functions, but
they're definitely
all final. So, the compiler _should_ optimize the functions in
a final class
which don't override anything so that they're non-virtual.
However, I'm not
sure that there's actually any guarantee that final methods
which don't
override anything will actually be made non-virtual. It's an
optimization
based on the fact that the compiler can determine that it can
be made non-
virtual rather than it explicitly being made non-virtual by the
programmer, so
the compiler might not do it. It _should_, but I'm not sure
that it's
guaranteed to.
