[Vm-dev] how slower is called a named primitive over a numbered primitive?

[David T. Lewis]

That sounds right to me too. But it would be a worthwhile experiment to
set up a test to confirm it. Maybe take one or more methods that call
numbered primitives, and recode them to call the primitives by name. Then
measure and see if anything got slower.
