Quite interesting.  I brought up this *exact* point at the Stackless BOF at 
IPC9.  I mentioned that the immediate reason I was interested in Stackless was 
to supercharge the efficiency of 4XSLT.  I think that a stackless 4XSLT could 
pretty much annihilate the other processors in the field for performance.
