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?
