Speeding up object name check by record ID
I have been able to piece together some code that determines object name based on record ID without any hard-coding or SOQL. It works with both custom and standard objects but it is very slow, I'm guessing due to loading so much schema data and a lot of looping.
I am looking for a way to speed this function up, potentially by limiting the object names searched or the amount of data being sorted through.
Here is the entire (working, but slow) function:
// Get sObject type by record ID
public static String getObjName(String recordId) {
// Get record prefix
String recordPrefix = recordId.substring(0, 3);
// Get global "describe"
Map<String, Schema.SObjectType> gd = Schema.getGlobalDescribe();
// Loop through all objects to find match for record ID prefix
for (Schema.SObjectType otype : gd.values()) {
Schema.DescribeSObjectResult r = otype.getDescribe();
String prefix = r.getKeyPrefix();
// Found match!
if (prefix != null && prefix.equals(recordPrefix)) return r.getName();
}
return '';
}
Any ideas?

The Id class already contains an instance method to do exactly what you wish, named getSObjectType. The entire body of your method can be simplified to the below:
return (recordId == null) ? '' : String.valueOf(recordId.getSObjectType());
Better than returning the name of the SObjectType as a string would be to use static typing and directly return the result:
public static SObjectType getSObjectType(Id recordId)
{
return (recordId == null) ? null : recordId.getSObjectType();
}
