VM Query: Contexts on Stack?

I've been spending some time studying the VM lately, and reading 
papers from John Maloney's VM Workshop last OOPSLA.  The paper from 
the Dolphin Smalltalk folk suggest that pushing contexts on the stack 
may be faster than having each context have its own stack, which is 
what I understand Squeak does.  Has anyone played with this in the 
Squeak VM?
