Some optimization for fun

Hi all!

I stumbled over a guy looking at Squeak performance and decided to see if
I could optimize his particular problem. I ended up writing a highly
optimized version of #printString in class SmallInteger.

Don't know if it is of general interest but it does give a speedup of
sending #printString to SmallIntegers around 4x I think.

See my comment here:
