It occurred to me after reading your other messages that you're 
interested in getting rid of the reflection data rather than the 
runtime performance of interface calls.

Interface calls without reflection data are tricky. However, if you are 
doing a static, complete-application compilation - such that given an 
interface, at compile time you have complete knowledge of all classes 
that implement that interface, then you can build the interface 
dispatch tables at compile time thus eliminating the need for 
reflection data.
