optimisation

[Deepak Singh]

hi,

Is declaring cell widgets variable as static an optimisation ?

OR simply declaring a variable as static is an optimisation or simply it does not make any difference as per optimisation / performance is concerned.

Kindly suggest.

The compiler will make the methods it can into static calls. As far as making an instance static (i.e. making a singleton), this probably won't gain you anything for a Cell, which has very little state, but in the case of very large widgets/composites, it might make sense to do.

So Cell, probably not worth it, and Widget, possibly, only if it is very expensive to create. As with almost all optimizations, profile first, then optimize. And make sure you optimize the compiled Javascript, not the Java (though you probably want to compile to PRETTY or DETAILED so you know what to work on).

Thanks Colin, i got it now.
