Excellent news..
I've integrated the new methodcache into the BC image. It went fairly
easy.. The hardest thing was that we are both clobbering class
definitions..... It looks like it'll be roughly an hour or so to port it
in the future.. But! It works!
The difference is impressive.
I can't run many of the macrobenchmarks, but those I can:
STOCK MC BC BC+MC
1 54908 27235 - -
2 294773 219893 - -
3 132697 56784 83456 40789
4 54756 30076 - -
5 - - - -
6 19057 14462 18267 11512
7 14544 11520 15518 7929
These are all on a P2-450
MC means both the root table overflow patch and the new methodcache. The
root table overflow patch is worth about 10,000 ms on #3

I'll say one thing already, it builds VM's a whole *lot* faster.
I'm currently profiling the new VM; and will have some results indicating
places for improvement for V4.

As for final integration, it could either be done now, creating a unified
VM, or I can do it later, when BC stabalizes.
