I would have thought that constructing GUIs is the one place where it is
unassailable that added flexibility is well worth a little dispatch
overhead.  GUIs are at the same time so common, so fluid in their
specifications, such a pain to set up, and so performance non-critical
that they were one of the first big success stories of OO languages back
in the days when a 1 MIPS CPU was state of the art.
