But to be honest, it's very rare that I use either "call" or "send".
Both are up there with "do" in terms of a modest amount of additional
overhead needed to handle them relative to calls natively in the message
path.

What are the relative timings of handlers in the message path vs. handlers

About twice as long, but as with many benchmarks with Transcript it
hardly matters: "twice as long" sounds like a big deal, but on my 1GHz
G4 that's still less than a microsecond. :)
Are there stronger reasons for you to use "call" and "send" very rarely? I
ask because I've been using "send" a lot.
I don't feel too strongly about it one way or another. I just don't find
myself needing "send" often in the stuff I'm doing. But if you need it
I see no harm in using it.
