Laravel - performance of Facades vs. helper methods

Question

I wonder if there is a performance difference between using Facades and helper methods in laravel 5.1.

I startet to remove for example use View; or View::make() wherever possible, thinking that view() would be simpler and possibly faster. But I don't know.

Same with Redirect::to() --> redirect() , Redirect::back() --> back() and so on..

Is there a difference or does it not matter?

Answer 1

I don't think there is much performance difference but one thing to consider is the reduced cognitive load of always including the use statement when using a facade. Just one more thing to forget.
