That's hard to believe. Copying a pointer should be insignificant compared
to the cost of the dispatch. What does the profiler say?

You should probably spell out the apply_visitor() call by hand inline; in
addition to eliminating the pointer copy, this would allow you to experiment
with, say, reordering the tests from most frequent to least frequent.
