This is a good workaround, and Stephen's report is a helpful reminder that our performance story has a sharp edge. We cache spreaders in the case of varargs methods, for full performance, but not for the ad hoc spreader used by MH.iWA. We should cache them, to remove this sharp edge (or performance pothole). There are small technical challenges to do so. Claes and I added some notes to the bug report; maybe someone can look into it more. — John
