Is it expensive to create objects?

Question

I have just refactored a colleague\'s code that, roughly, looked like this...

public class Utility
  public void AddHistoryEntry(int userID, HistoryType Historyty         


        

Answer 1

He might be correct if you have millions of these objects in memory simultaneously. But if you don't, then he's bringing up what is almost certainly a moot point. Always choose a better design first, and then modify it only if you're not meeting performance requirements.
