Tangentially: In this particular case, reflection isn't strictly necessary because toString is a method of Object. In theory, the compiler could special-case Object's methods and never do reflection, right?
In practice, I don't know if it's worth the effort, although it's certainly a little surprising that (.toString thing) can be 100 times slower than (str thing), at least until you know what's going on there. - Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
