What is the difference between a Method and MetaMethod in Groovy?

Question

Explain a MetaMethod as the following:

[A MetaMethod] represents a Method on a Java object a little like Method except without using reflection to invoke the method

What exactly do the docs mean by "a Method without using reflection" for invocation?

The parser probably replaces it to calling the method directly on the object variable. — Sotirios Delimanolis, Jul 09 '13 at 18:47
