Of course it has something to do with the type system, you fucking moron. Dynamic dispatch through virtual table, which can only be done through static typing, is inherently faster than the fucking multiple hashtable lookup that is done in dynamicaly typed languages. Also, static typing allows for primitive types, and even a goddamn retard like yourself must know that a fucking primitive int type will always be fastes than an Integer object. Shut the fuck up, you fucking cunt.
