Names of classes stored in executables

General

After reading on the website for Arbed, I saw it said they are planning ‘Code obfuscation’. Does this mean that when Xojo is compiled, the names of variables, classes, modules, etc, all of the names of the methods are stored as string. Wouldn’t it be more efficient and wouldn’t the app run faster if all of the methods where numbered or have I the completely wrong idea?

Thanks

Of course names are in the app. You want to see them in your crash reports…

And obfuscation is there for strings already in Arbed. Just to make sure not everyone can read your SQL statements…
