It means the same as in "speed devil" :)

It already does that by default, but only for loop bindings. This makes 
sense because outside tight loops boxing really can't hurt. The performance 
hit of one box-unbox roundtrip is (my guesstimate) on the order of 10 
primitive arithmetic operations. A reflective call is on the order of 1000 
ops.
