why can’t I take my dynamically typed program, profile it to find the bottlenecks, then sprinkle around some type declarations to get a speed up? Why can’t these passages be as fast as the statically typed languages?

There are a couple languages that do this. Common Lisp is one, the only one that approaches the speed of C.

ActionScript, the language of Adobe Flash, does it, as do Visual Basic, VBA, and VB.NET.
