Also interesting could be how/if performance changes once methods are
defined on generic functions. That would make a difference in PCL, for
instance, because the presence of more than one method would make a
dicriminating function necessary. That's the function dispatching to
methods based on argument types, for example.

Or it could be, of course, that Emacs's doesn't do optimizations on that
level at all.
