Unfortunately, no, they won't. They are there because C cannot do argument
forwarding. The, IMHO somewhat unfortunate, choice of using GValue arrays
instead of working with the va_args directly is what is causing the overhead.

Note, that with va_args, any language binding could still provide it's own
set of marshallers to handle conversion to anything they need.
