The thing is that methods have runtime dispatch. (Or so I believe.
CLOS is still a bit of a blind spot for me.) This is a very nice feature,
but it hurts the performance. Happily enough there are functions when speed
is more important than flexibility. I think we could benefit from using
CLOS (and methods) in the user level API's, though. Have to do some
thinking.

Yeah. When I find the time. If you have the time... please do!
