Performant JavaScript

If you need to share functionality across instances of a class, it is massively more performant to share functionality via prototypes.

Using JS prototype functions to share functionality amongst instances of a class is significantly more performant and uses less memory than encapsulating shared methods in the constructor function.

Who knew.
