 +===== Performance =====
 +
 +Testing suggests that autoloading through an internal classmap delivers around 5% performance increase vs a userland function call (e.g. composer). 
 +
 +This is 5% of the cost of the autoloading, and not the execution as a whole. Testing was performed by creating 50,000 empty classes each in an individual file, and then autoloading every one of them in a loop. Amount of classes was purely to help reduce noise.
 +
 +Average for internal classmap was 0.295 vs 0.313 for spl_autoload_register representing 5.9% difference (in autoload performance only).
