That makes sense; basically giving a hint so that the compiler can figure out what kind of special optimizations are possible. I would assume that it can avoid extra reflection calls as well as a result?
The slow function I added the types to didn't really make any sense to be really generic. For nearly all the arguments (of which there was like 20), there was only one type that made any sense for each. I don't think keeping it more generic would have bought me much, and adding types worked as an assertion that made things much faster.
But yes, once I started adding types to thing, I did start utilizing multiple dispatch, since I've always been a bit fan of Clojure-style multimethods and this got me something more or less comparable to it.
