It can now compile all the > byte codes. The speedups are disappointing, but I'm not surprised: most byte-code operations end up calling non-trivial C functions. Maybe the results would be a bit more encouraging if you tried to compile lexbind byte-code (where local variables are kept on the byte-code stack rather than being varbound&varref'd). Stefan
