We should probably stop while we're chasing Fredrik away again :-), but there could be some merit in Christian's idea of replacing some of the more rarely-used opcodes by function calls, or by some other way of encoding these that uses fewer cases in the switch. But there aren't very many of these, so I'm not sure how much it will help. (And we should be careful not to change the semantics.) --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
