If iOS had to search through an array of method names, then the efficiency wouldn't be very good--but dictionary/set lookups are very fast, so I imagine there must be a big dictionary/set of method pointers(integers) somewhere in the bowels of iOS. Also, it occurs to me that the efficiency at compile time isn't critical--it's the efficiency at run time that really matters.
