I tend to agree.  But that totally depends on the type of applications 
you are dealing with.

Just as a data point: object types are not necessarily that expensive. 
I once wrote a hash map with int as key type (basically copying 
java.util.HashMap) just to find out that the performance difference to a 
standard HashMap with Integer as keys was negligible.  (I don't remember 
all the details but I believe I also used values outside the cached range.)

Then you probably never used reflection.  Which is another good reason 
to have java.lang.Integer and the like.
