[Cc'ed to guile-devel since this is a guile/GOOPS speed issue;
Context: The new guile-gobject Guile bindings for GTK+ use GOOPS to
provide an OO interface. Building this interface (at binding module
load time) is painfully slow (leading to a 10 seconds total for
loading the whole GTK+ binding on my machine (Athlon 900)).

I've now done that and have all code for method creation in one
place. I did some simple benchmarking via clock() and identified the
major culprits:
method creation : 4.35 seconds total (1350 * 0.00322222)
GF create: 3.01 seconds total (782 * 0.0038491)
method add: 1.25 seconds total (1048 * 0.00119275)
The values in the parenthesis are the count how often the code segment
is executed and the time in seconds for each iteration.
"GF create" is the following code:
default_val = scm_make (scm_list_3 (scm_class_generic,
name_keyword, generic_name));
"method add" is this:
scm_add_method (gf, meth);
Now I wonder why it takes so long to construct a generic function (the
method add time is not *that* bad)...
