You mean calls for logging data via EZGraph or the like, or do you
mean message dispatch?  Logging may be faster in some cases.  Message
dispatch won't be any faster in later versions.  What you should do is
profile your model with a version of Swarm built with profiling and start
knocking down bottlenecks in order of their cost.  

To elimate message dispatch, you can either do use get_imp (Class,
SEL) to find the function that will be called for a given message
(saving the function pointer in a variable), or restructure your code
to have functions or (better) inlined function for the bottlenecks.
If you find a bottleneck in Swarm, post the gmon.out data to
swarm-support and I can probably suggest another approach.
