I agree, for the warning. I think it should be also clearer in the 
documentation that they are slower.
As it is counter intuitive (more information gives less speed), it should be 
really over emphasized in the
doc about performance.

If you want to have a look on for which types there is  aget/aset is optimized, 
I think the right place is 
clojure/lang/RT.java.
