Hi Sungjin,
As far as I know, the bind egg should not introduce any overhead beyond
what the core FFI will have. For the core, there's some overhead
regarding type and range checking, and for some types of argument like
strings, there'll be copying involved.
The best way to figure whether out the overhead is acceptable to your
program is to simply measure it. There are ways to make things faster
if safety is not important.
Sorry for the late reply!
Cheers,
Peter
