Sadly. I mean, the exec patches are great, but I found no faster way to run parrot bytecode than to run it through pbc2c.pl and compile it with gcc -O3. That was still about twice as fast as the JIT (and thus the exec). But, as previously pointed out, pbc2c.pl's idea doesn't scale well and has a few other drawbacks, so I suppose this was destined to happen. Luke
