Static vs Non-Static Function Performance

[100]

Hi andrew,
Try to see what most of the static members do:
1. Static properties are readonly
2. Static methods doesn't use any other static variables and almost never
modified their arguments (some of them do like Array.Copy).

In this case you don't have to do any locking to ensure the thread safety.
Anyway if they need to do locking they will, but this is realy unlikely.
