Aargh!  But it still runs really slow!

For example, a typical vm built by you gives the following result:
  '102481985 bytecodes/sec; 4680713 sends/sec'

This is much faster than both a vm...

built by me last week, gcc 4.0
'85676037 bytecodes/sec; 3241530 sends/sec'

built by me a few minutes ago, gcc 3.3
'56338028 bytecodes/sec; 1730422 sends/sec'

In fact, the one I built with gcc-3.3 is far worse than the gcc-4.0 one!

Any ideas?  I'll continue to play around with it.

Thanks,
Josh
