Impressive speed Grishul. I looked at optimizing call times in mobjc  
(which replaces objc3-sharp), by for example adding a fast path which  
bypasses a lot of the managed code, but the speed increases were  
negligible. So, as far as I can tell the slow down in mobjc is from  
libffi and return value marshaling.
