OSC values receiver

Hello,
Using OSC Decoder/Encoder to send-receive data, i noticed string-value conversions are reaaaaaally heavy (at least looking at them in the debug mode).
have a look at the attached eaxmple patch. On my machine AsValue (String) takes 3700-4000 (alpha 28.3).
(also AsString (Value) is not really light…)

My question is:
would be possible to have an OSCDecoder/OSCEncoder directly with values as input/output, avoiding in-patch conversions?
Would this improve performances?
Naturally it would work just with values, but from my experience values are the most common data sent over the network.
