If that's the only reason, then another alternative that does not use
try/catch is to use reflection to see which interfaces are present.

But basing the decision on minor performance issues like this seems like
a bad reason anyway, since this try/catch or reflection code only needs
to be executed at most once each time the program is run.  After that,
the result can be cached in a variable.
