Duck Typing for Performance
Firstly, please note Duck typing (see Sean Corfields excellent presentation) is NOT primarily about performance. In most cases this is probably the least interesting aspect of it. Using duck typing to improve performance before identifying a performance bottleneck is a sure sign of Premature Optimization :->
Once you have a working application with a performance bottleneck which can be attributed to a large number of method calls each of which does a relatively small amount of processing, it is time to consider taking advantage of duck typing to improve the performance . . .
