Yes, my point is entirely demonstrated, which is what I expected :D
It takes you 4.4 seconds to construct 40000 new employees, with 5
departments each...
And in real code, you're going to do that how often?
Assuming it's 100 or so in more real cases (for a screen full of
data), then you are going to spend 11 miliseconds constructing these
objects..
So it doesn't matter if one approach is slower than the other - as it
just doesn't matter! The actual time spent here is going to be so
insignificant (compared to the rest of your application, which of
course you haven't timed or showed) as to make no difference, even if
it's 3 times more expensive.
