The end result is a 10X performance boost in speed, but without sacrificing all of the runtime exception logic that makes AutoMapper so useful. 

n general terms, caching takes place where the frequently-used data is stored, so that the application can quickly access the data rather than accessing the data from the source. Caching can improve the performance and scalability of the application dramatically and can help us to remove the unnecessary requests from the external data sources for the data that changes infrequently. 

Objectها باید مانند ماشین‌هایی تلقی شوند که عملیات موجود در واسط عمومی خود را برای افرادی که درخواست مناسبی ارسال کنند، اجرا خواهند کرد. با توجه به اینکه یک object از استفاده کننده خود مستقل است و وابستگی به او ندارد و همچنین توجه به ساختار نحوی (syntax) برخی از زبان‌های شیء گرای جدید، عبارت «sending a message» برای توصیف اجرای رفتاری از مجموعه رفتارهای object، استفاده میشود.
به محض اینکه پیغامی (Message) به سمت object ارسال شود، ابتدا باید تصمیم بگیرد که این پیغام ارسالی را درک می‌کند. فرض کنیم این پیغام قابل درک است. در این صورت object مورد نظر، همزمان با نگاشت پیغام به یک فراخوانی تابع (function call)، خود را به صورت ضمنی به عنوان اولین آرگومان ارسال می‌کند. تصمیم گرفتن در رابطه با قابل درک بودن یک پیغام، در زبان‌های مفسری در زمان اجرا و در زبان‌های کامپایلری در زمان کامپایل، انجام میگرد. 
نام (یا prototype) رفتار یک وهله، Message (پیغام) نامیده می‌شود. بسیاری از زبان‌های شیء گرا مفهموم Overloaded Functions Or Operators را پشتیبانی می‌کنند. در این صورت می‌توان در سیستم دو تابعی داشت که با نام یکسان، یا انواع مختلف آرگومان (intraclass overloading) داشته باشند یا در کلاس‌های مختلفی (interclass overloading) قرار گیرند. 
ممکن است کلاس ساعت زنگدار، دو پیغام set_time که یکی از آنها با دو آرگومان از نوع عدد صحیح و دیگری یک آرگومان رشته‌ای است داشته باشد.
