In addition to what Trey said, you get an ever so slight performance hit using NewObject because of what it actually does.

NewObject performs an implict SET CLASSLIB ADDITIVE before it attempts to create the object. However, it is a special additive. It actually prepends the specified class library to the class library path. If the class library already existed in the path, it moves it from where it was in the sequence to the front. After the object is instantiated, NewObject resets the class library path back to what it was.
