It shall run fast if I have to chase it with a stick. (maybe I should just give up now and go with the single opcode "dwim" and be done with it...) How much of the current base of target ports are you willing to give up in the first cut for fast? The TIL suggestion, amongst others, has the potential to speed things up rather a lot, but it has the disadvantage of requiring intimate knowledge of each target port. My preference is to get a snappy interpreter and leave the Java JIT-equivalents to the various chip/OS vendors, but I'd bet the TIL style would be faster. Dan
