Performance cost of creating ObjectContext in every method in Entity Framework v1

Question

Hello,

While using .NET 3.5 SP1 in ASP.NET MVC application, the ObjectContext can have lifetime on one Http Request OR of a SINGLE method.

using (MyEntities context =  new MyEntities ())
{
//DO query etc
}

How much is increased performance cost of creating ObjectContext in every method VS per request ?

Thanks.
