More precisely, a JIT that compiles both forms into machine code of
similar performance, where the difference is probably a load of `sb'
from memory for each method invocation.
(A sufficiently smart compiler might do what you are describing, but
that sounds a little unrealistic to me, too.)

Well, I guess that was my question.
