Before we start ripping apart our existing APIs, can we show
that the performance is really going to be so bad? I know
virtual calls have a bad reputation, but I hate to make these
choices absent real data.
For instance, D's underlying i/o system uses FILE *, which is
about as virtual as you can get. So are you avoiding a virtual
call to use a buffer to then pass to a virtual call later?
I think its debatable how useful this information would be but
I've written a small D Program to try to explore the different
performance statistics for various methods. I've uploaded the
code to my server, feel free to download/modify/use.
