"Just Curious" VM question

Hi,
Can anyone tell me offhand what the overhead for a regular method
invocation vs. a primitive invocation, assuming that both are already
in the inline cache? I had in mind a named primitive, but this brings
to mind the question: is there any difference in overhead between a
numbered primitive and a named primitive? (my guess is yes, because
the numbered primitive has a special bytecode to invoke it, right?)
Thanks,
Joshua
