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).
