> Any reasonable inversion of control framework Well, they might have tried an unreasonable inversion of control framework (like Spring) and observed that Spring uses reflection on top of reflection and does slow down your code significantly. The solution isn't to abandon IOC (or, god help us, just give up and declare all your variables static/global), it's to abandon IOC frameworks. They're useless and they don't provide any advantage. IOC is a coding style that you can follow without the help of some idiotic "framework", just like ORMs.
