What is the best trade-off for
performance/code beauty, a lot of
small methods, or some longer methods?
"Premature optimization is the root of all evil" - Donald Knuth
Remember:
- Make it work.
- Make it right.
- Make it fast.
You should only worry about performance if it is warranted; if the current code is too slow to meet requirements.
In that case you should find the 'hot-spots' and optimize those. Check if performance is good enough. If not, repeat.
