-I think the motivation section is great, in particular for readers
-who are less familiar with compiler/JIT optimizations. However,
-section 4 starts with "yet another example" - at least this was my
-impression when reading it. I understand the differences and

+The last section gave a motivating but unrealistically small example.
+This section will define a slightly larger example that the rest of the paper
+uses to demonstrate the effect of optimizations.
+For this we are going to use a tiny interpreter for a dynamic language with
a very small object
model, that just supports an integer and a float type (this example has been
taken from a previous paper \cite{bolz_allocation_2011}). The objects support
only
one operation, \lstinline{add}, which adds two objects (promoting ints to
floats in a
-mixed addition). The implementation of \lstinline{add} uses classical
Smalltalk-like
+mixed addition). The implementation of \lstinline{add} uses classical
double-dispatching.
%These classes could be part of the implementation of a very
%simple interpreter written in RPython.
