I wonder if we cannot do more to try and intern all methods names? If
so then we could do direct == comparison. All method names coming
from parser are intern'd. Also all literal Java strings:
callMethod("foo")
are also intern'd. So the 10,000$ question is where aren't we
interning? Could intern'ing (which is likely to be more brittle) be
an approach to take?

PS - I apologize in advance since I think I have had this conversation
before...I cannot remember the answer from last time we talked about
it.
We have had this discussion before, a while back; Charles did a spike
and found that interning everything was actually quite a bit slower than
the current approach (if I remember correctly).
