But a core design principle is to not use resources unnecessarily - so calling TWO functions each time an object is created would violate that principle.

Are you kidding or trolling? Why are you calling multiple methods, if
all could be done in a single one? Why do you use OOP at all? Or PHP?
Why not directly write pure Assembler code?

Because that would violate a core design principle - that the app be written in PHP4.


_Every_ step taken to a higher, more abstract level "wastes" sooo many
resources - millions of CPU cycles just in order to load, parse and
compile your class file, so you can use it! And you're worried about the
time taken for a _single_ method call? Sorry, but that's just absurd.

Yeah - but I recycle my plastic and glass, too. I don't see where it's made my neighborhood any tidier, but it's the principle of the thing.
