I'm still baffled at the disparency.  While the first number is in line
with what I see, you get twice the message sends.  I'd appreciate if you
could provide me with a little more detail on which image, which VM,
compilation options, and any tweaks applied.

I looked at the how my interpret function is compiled and it looks
reasonable although there's plenty room for improvement (it's the
non-gnuified version, so localSP didn't get allocated to a register,
there are too many branches, and a useless <= 255 check for the
switch).

Meanwhile I'll try to force gnuification of my VM.
