I believe the only difference between the two is that in the first you're creating a prototyped class, where in the second you're creating a static namespace containing functions.
The only extra overhead you'll see is from the call to Class.create().

(as you may have already noticed, im a bit paranoid about performance/speed) On 7/21/06, Ryan Gahl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Nope, that should work out just fine, but I would just call that "namespacing" (YUI didn't invent that concept)... :-) _______________________________________________ Rails-spinoffs mailing list Rails-spinoffs@lists.rubyonrails.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-spinoffs
