As described in Gary Benson blog, there are two interpreters: the c++ interpreter and the template based interpreter. The loop that you are searching is probably the run method in bytecodeInterpreter.cpp. But as far as I understand the c++ interpreter is normally not used (maybe for debugging or new platforms). The template interpreter has no dispatch loop: templates are chained together which removes dispatch overhead almost entirely.
