To improve this discussion a small benchmark is useful to see how much

It'll increase with reflection and perfect garbage collection.
Are these coming? :)
Yes. Heap-perfect GC has had patches in Bugzilla, though they've suffered
bit-rot. I'd really like a fully precise collector, but that is more work for
Walter. Reflection is part of the variant refactoring I've been working on.
I've kept the design very limited so far, but it does result in a lot of
codegen and slow compile times in certain situations (mostly due to type tuple
bugs and Algebraic).
