performance - Are Java static calls more or less expensive than non-static calls? -

Is there any performance gain or is there any other? Is this compiler / VM specific? I'm using hotspot.

First: Depending on the static versus non-static performance

Second: In practice, it will not make any difference. Hotspot can choose to optimize in ways which calls fast steady for one method, makes non-static call fast for another.

Third: Most of the myths around static versus non-stationary are either based on the very old JVM (that hotspot does not have any of that optimization), or miss something about C ++ (Which uses a dynamic call access one more memory than a fixed call).
