I think what you gain from static typing is pretty much that you can compile your programs and run without a fat interpreter.
Note - I am not saying that is the only possible benefit of static typing anywhere, e.g. in Haskell - this is more in line with C, you are doing type declarations to cue the compiler rather than to realize some utopian test-free development methodology.

Of course, this is just from what I hear, I haven't run any benchmarks. Does anyone have more details about this?
