Why are interface method invocations slower than concrete invocations?
I was going through a link describing difference between interface and abstract class. http://javapapers.com/core-java/abstract-and-interface-core-java-2/difference-between-a-java-interface-and-a-java-abstract-class/

Can someone please explain this point?
