node.js - Placement of static middleware in express 4 -

i see express 4 not need app.use(app.router). combined app.get/post(). in case, should define static middle-ware after app.[verb]() calls?

app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));

i assume keeping before hurts performance each request may need file lookup.

usually want @ top requests files don't accidentally match routes , such.
