I just took a look at the extension methods (there are quite a lot) and 
most of them can be simplified or removed.

Hm. This looks interresting, I guess some optimizations are already 
implemented:

| x |
x := SmallInteger maxVal raisedTo: 100.
#(-1600 -1597 1597 1600) collect: [ :shift |
 	[ 1 to: 100000 do: [ :i | x bitShift: shift ] ] timeToRun ].
"CogVM  ===> #(150 147 271 64)"
"SquakVM ===> #(97 118 343 71)"
