Does using Final (I know that the final keyword is used as a constant) makes the execution of my code faster?
For example:
int var1 = 98;
versus
final int var1 = 98;
Or is there no difference?

Re: Does using Final makes the execution of my code faster?
I've never seen any discussions on that.
Perhaps you could write a test program and run it a few million times with timings to see what happens.
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
