command_prefix=None performance hit?

[God-damnit-all]

@dolfies The discord.py documentation implies a performance hit for using command_prefix=None in the bot parameters, but is there one when doing this for discord.py-self? I ask because I know that discord.py-self does a lot of things differently, such as doing away with intents.

Also, as an aside, is the self_bot attribute still used or is that now unnecessary? I see it in some examples, but it's possible they're out of date.

The ext.commands module is mostly untouched (except for removing app_command stuff) as it's an extension and doesn't really implement the Discord API. Whatever performance hit exists would be the same.

self_bot doesn't control authentication, it controls bot behavior. By default, the bot only responds to other users' command invocations. With self_bot=True, it response to only itself (the classic selfbot). With user_bot=True, it responds to both.
