As I claimed many times in the past, no effort has been
made yet to improve the performance of the generated C
code. IN particular in term of inlining or dynamic
binding.

My priority is to be fully compliant with ECMA and ISE
before tackling performance issues. And from what I can
see, spending time on this issue now will not significantly
improve your figures as long as most of the time is still
spent in the GC.
