If it's compute-bound then that's plenty.

Provided we develop so that we can scale across cores, I can double my
compute this month for about the same dollar cost as 0.1% programmer-time.
My estimate is that type annotations would be far more expensive; as we
don't generally have type-related bugs in our JS code, spending time
annotating only for the sake of execution speed would be a poor decision.
