Travis made an interesting post on #perform. It's an interesting method, and easy to use - like Travis, I'd like to see some stats on comparable uses of reflection in Java or C# applications. Anyhow, Travis' script turned up 471 uses in a fairly basic image (Store and a few tools loaded). I just tried it on on my BottomFeeder development image, and found 694. Zoinks! I don't think I use it that heavily (there's some usage in Bf and the Blog poster, but I don't think I have 200+ more. Then again, I have a lot of things loaded - Wave server, Web Services and Opentalk, Net Clients, XML-RPC - I guess it adds up :)
