[comp.lang.smalltalk] HELP! Need ref's on OO vs. Execution efficiency.

rfg@ics.uci.edu (Ron Guilmette) (11/14/89)

I have commited myself to writing a paper about the effect on
execution efficiency of using Object Oriented Languages (or
perhaps even an OO design approach).

I *must* have references, but there don't seem to be many in the
literature that I have seen so far.  I guess that most OO oriented
people just assume that the benefits of OO far outweigh any possible
loss of efficiency (or that there is no significant loss).

(In fact I recall hearing one anecdote about how a C program was
converted to C++ and the speed *increased* !!)

Anyway, I'm in desparate need of a list of relevant references (which
I must have by Wed. night at the latest).

If you can help me, please E-mail your suggestions for references to:

	rfg@ics.uci.edu

Thanks everybody.
