Reflection is expensive, indeed. The way we solved it for FLOW3 is to create a ReflectionService that caches such information as long as the source doesn't change.

yeah its a general problem .. but so far the decision has been that we should move away from adding more and more functions/methods for highly specialized cases (as in not continue in the get_class() etc. approach). now speeding up reflections is a very real issue .. suggestions in this regard are quite welcome. maybe offering a cache service as part of core is one approach .. regards, Lukas
