I'm not sure elisp-benchmarks are representative enough of actual Elisp
code, but this is an excellent example of what Alfred tries to convey.
Look at data.c:arith_driver. You'll see that it's essentially a function
which dispatches the handling of its arguments depending on their type: if
the arguments are integers, do something, else if the arguments are
floats, do something, else if the arguments are bignums, do something.
Now look at data.c:Fgtr or data.c:Flss. You'll see that it calls
arithcompare_driver, which calls arithcompare, which again dispatches the
handling of the arguments depending on their types: integer, float,
bignum.
These integer/float/bignum types are not known at compilation time,
because Elisp is a dynamically typed language, which means that the type
of an object can change over its lifetime, an object could be an integer
at some point of time, and later a float, and later again a bignum. In a
statically typed language, these type dispatch operations can be bypassed,
because it is known at compilation time that the arguments are, say,
integers, and that we can simply call the "add" instruction to compute
their sum.
So, in a statically typed language, adding two integers takes a single CPU
cycle. In a dynamically typed language, it can take many CPU cycles.
And of course, using a JIT compiler does not magically transform a
dynamically typed language into a statically typed one: you still need to
do these dynamic dispatches.
