SISC on Android and the Heap

I've been plugging away on getting SISC to work on Android, and made more
progress.  But I've hit a major obstacle: serialization and deserialization
is notoriously slow on Android.  Really slow.  Embedded inside a Android
App, SISC takes about 45 seconds to run a simple eval on the emulator.  Most
of that time is spent on (initialize) - which performs a lot of
deserialization on the precompiled heap file.

My question is can I operate SISC in some way without using the precompiled
heap, and instead loading in the code precompiled in the heap.  Scott
Miller's 2002 paper seems to imply that this is possible, provided you're
willing to take a 10-15 sec performance hit (page 5).

Even if I manage this task, my next question is how often does SISC use
serialization/deserialization during processing...(I suspect a great deal).

Any advice is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

Chad
