Okay, hardware gurus....

Linux/Athlon/gcc.

Why does changing this:  (DO_OP loop partially inlined)

while (pc >= code_start && pc < code_end && *pc) {
    do {
        x = z->opcode_funcs; \
        y = x[*w]; \
       w = (y)(w,z); \
    } while (0);  
}

to

x = z->opcode_funcs;

while (pc >= code_start && pc < code_end && *pc) {
    do {
        y = x[*w]; \
       w = (y)(w,z); \
    } while (0);  
}

slow it down by 6%?
