+Performance
+-----------
+
+To figure which normalizer (or denormalizer) must be used to handle an object,
+the :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Serializer\\Serializer` class will call the
+:method:`Symfony\\Component\\Serializer\\Normalizer\\NormalizerInterface::supportsNormalization`
+(or :method:`Symfony\\Component\\Serializer\\Normalizer\\DenormalizerInterface::supportsDenormalization`)
+of all registered normalizers (or denormalizers) in a loop.
+
+The result of these methods can vary depending on the object to serialize, the
+format and the context. That's why the result **is not cached** by default and
+can result in a significant performance bottleneck.
+
+However, most normalizers (and denormalizers) always return the same result when
+the object's type and the format are the same, so the result can be cached. To
+do so, make those normalizers (and denormalizers) implement the
+:class:`Symfony\\Component\\Serializer\\Normalizer\\CacheableSupportsMethodInterface`
+and return ``true`` when
+:method:`Symfony\\Component\\Serializer\\Normalizer\\CacheableSupportsMethodInterface::hasCacheableSupportsMethod`
+is called.
+
+ .. note::
+    
+    All built-in :ref:`normalizers and denormalizers <component-serializer-normalizers>`
+    as well the ones included in `API Platform`_ natively implement this interface.
