Yes, value-type inference in Elisp and then several functions
in C - based on type - to do the same thing.

Sounds like a good strategy, assuming type checks in C are
actually what makes Elisp slow.

I have now native compiled my Elisp with `native-comp-speed'
set to 3. It is about 100 files, but they require a lot of
other files so all in all located in eln-cache after this step
were just below 500 files. (BTW, what are the .tmp files in
said directory?)

I don't know about you guys but the intuition regarding
interactive feel is that it is _very_ fast!
