The concept of s&s is mainly, that they disconnect automatically and does not prevent an object from GC collection. It is not about performance IMO.
The Listeners in DWT do use a virtual function call. So the call performance is not much of relevance, i think. But the creation of a Listener itself is always using a Heap allocated object. That might be of relevance.
