Static can increase performance

How declaring methods as ‘Static’ can increase performance? By FxCop

• Methods which do not access instance data or call instance methods can be marked as static (Shared in VB).
• After doing so, the compiler will emit non-virtual call sites to these members which will prevent a check at runtime for each call that insures the current object pointer is non-null.
• This can result in a measurable performance gain for performance-sensitive code.
• In some cases, the failure to access the current object instance represents a correctness issue.
