I disagree for two reasons
- the first is inlining, 2ns/op vs 6ns/op is not very relevant, what is 
relevant is that in case you have full inlining of the callee inside the caller 
code and not in the other case. As Cliff Click said, inlining is the mother of 
all optimizations, without inlining there is a bunch of other optimizations 
that can not be applied. Moreover, in a lot of cases where proxies are used 
(Spring, CDI, Logger, etc), proxies are composed, if each call through a proxy 
is not inlined the performance difference is massive.
- second is control, as a user i've the control on the profile pollution that 
occurs because of the use of the proxy interface while i've no control on the 
profile pollution dues to the proxy implementation which depend on how others 
parts / libraries of the application are also using proxies.

And I don't buy the Leyden argument, the condensers of Leyden act at jlink 
time. A condenser is free to use a different strategy or not that the one used 
at runtime. Currently, GraalVM AOT, the closest existing thing to Leyden is 
using two entrypoints, one for the classical JDK and one for Graal AOT. Why not 
using the two entrypoints strategy for MHProxies.asInterfaceInstance() when 
Leyden will be implemented ?
