I hoped it would be possible to save most of the
frame initialization, in cases where the same function
call appears in the same place again and again.
The barrier is that I would have to keep references
longer than necessary, so I'm not sure if that can
be done.

BTW, the continuations which I am just testing
are doing a great job of creating hard to release
references to frames. They are correct, but create
some cycles, quickly. This project is becoming
very time expensive already :-)
