The secret? Bypassing contextual bindings when not used.

So instead of paying the performance tax of contextual bindings, developers can write a standard bind, a singleton, or even better, declare an explicit binding in Maravel/Maravelith Application class to avoid the reflection bottleneck even when the class autowiring is cached.
