Thank you guys, your comments are enlightening.
My suspicion about performance is in fact about database. Here is an
example,
$user->getUserData(1,'name');
function getUserData($idUser, $key) {
// if $this->userData[id] exists return it
// else
// connect database and get some data
// store it in the object - $this->userData[$idUser];
}
I call this and similar methods many times in a request. Instead of calling
it from db each time I store it in the object. But creating many instances
avoid this.
My concern about performance is all about this.
I always try to minimize database connections and queries. I think this is a
good approach for using resources efficiently (Maybe I exaggerate this I am
not sure)
Any comments are welcome.
