Just wanted to report that I've managed to build a new VM with the 
current VM-Maker sources and John's hack of putting VM globals into a 
structure.  This shows 80-95% faster bytecodes/s and 66% faster sends/s 
on the tinyBenchmarks.

Were there any other significant changes to the VM that would explain 
this?

Not that I'm complaining ;-)
