Answer 1

The next logical step may be to change the BigClass into a java package. Next create new objects for each group of related functionality (noting in each class that the object is part of the new package).

The benefits of doing this are dependency reduction and performance.

1. No need to import the entire package/BigClass just to get a few methods.
2. Code changes to related functionality don't require a recompile/redeploy of the entire package/BigClass.
3. Less memory used for allocating/deallocating objects, since you are using smaller classes.
