I really don't get your response, as Hugo just asked about a statement on the wikipage, which very clearly says that using reflection snippets brings a performance hit and is discouraged to be used in production. Now, it may very well be that this statement shouldn't be there as it's not true - which is your opinion I think. Maybe it would be better to write something like: "If you are experiencing performance problems because of too many reflection calls, the cause may be using reflection snippets. Consider using dispatch snippets". But why do you say to new users who just ask about statements from the wiki that their posts are time-wasting and that they can get less attention in the future I really don't understand.
