Is the marshalling comparison really fair? The lambda-table-based approach removes the need for serializing the class definition, but in practice - is the class definition always send around with each RPC? If it is so, it seems like a serious flaw of the current codebase, and not something occurring only for the functional interface. In case that we keep the marshallers around, we should marshall second RPC (with the same lambda and another instance of the same captured class), and look on the diff rather than on the first serialized instance.
