Is using "use" alias slower ?

Is using alias for "use" makes classes slower ? Anyone run a benchmark on that ?

Example:

use Phalcon\Mvc\Dispatcher as MvcDispatcher;

$dispatcher = new MvcDispatcher();

I don't think that make your apps slower, but there is diff in microsecond or maybe nanosecond

No, "use" renamings are resolved at compile time, if you're using ZendOptimizer or APC the bytecode has already passed the compilation phase so it does not impact performance in any way
