no it's not. it's more like, the most common dispatch pattern used in C++ (and most other OO languages) as a factor of 7x performance penalty over the less widely embraced alternative. The popularity of the former methods is partly due to the ignorance of programmers to its performance implications. I have seen huge code bases that had to be retired because of their over reliance on OO, and dynamic dispatch.
