I really don't see it as that big of a deal.  Seam needs to apply it's  
processing when control passes into and out of the component.  We  
don't need, for example, to do injection on every internal method  
call.  (though I'll be honest here, I still don't see why we chose to  
do this through injection rather than through contextually-ware  
proxies)   It's much more of a deal for EJB3-style tx/security  
controls.  (then again, we do those now, so...)
