Summary: strange value dispatch performance

Initial Comment:
1) Strange difference in dispatch performance for enum 
objects compared to strings or ints?

   obj      string    int
   265     125       94
   360     94        109
   453     94        109
   4672   125       109
   8891   109       110

2) If you uncomment the section between

So I tried that again, using 
   class Val {}
   let Val One = new Val();
instead of the enum

Similar when there are no more specific implementations:
   266  109  110
   344  93  110
   468  94  110
   4656  94  109
   8844  109  94

When there are more specific implementations, matching on 
Strings is an order of magnitude slower than matching on ints:
   2875  49469  515
   10422  159953  3593
   45016  254625  42641
   57640  358313  49281
   70484  456344  49625
