it's like a compile time cost, it's a runtime cost that you pay once.
Also it's better to use directly Java object instead of your own object,
e.g. use Object instead of RtObject. If RtObject has methods, you can
refactor them has static method and use invokedynamic to call them on
a plain old Object.
Of course, this doesn't work if you have states in your object.
