Use of static methods

[news.microsoft.com]

Does anyone know if there is a performance hit in using static methods for
the majority of our function calls (we have no requirement for maintaining
object state between calls)

 

[Manish Agarwal]

yes, they are always loaded into memory

 

[Thomas Tomicek [MVP]]

Yes.

There is none. If anything, it is SLIGHTLY faster, as one parameter less is
passed (this).

Well whatever methods are used are always going to be loaded into
memory, surely - what's special about static methods there?
