"Obviously".

Unless you're doing method calls in a tight loop somewhere in your
code you *shouldn't care about this*. Now I've written code that
actually *did* suffer from method call overhead but since you're just
casually asking it's very unlikely that you're doing the same.

Don't sprinkle premature optimizations around your codebase just
because someone produced a benchmark showing one is faster than the
other. You should be doing *profiling* of your  entire program, not
micro-optimizing something that's likely 0.0001% of its total runtime.
