I’ve profiled a complete play through of Sand dancer now. Here are the top functions (many are broken in to several parts). I was surprised at some of them. It looks like probably 20% of the overall processing time is being spent checking if properties exist. And a third is being spent calling and returning from I6 functions.
So function acceleration would certainly help. Would it be feasible to try to detect them through pattern matching? Edit: I think it will be, but it will also be easier to specifically ask for acceleration… that would require less changes to Gnusto.
