Changing ponie to cache the PMC type numbers up front reduces time taken to
run the regression tests by about 10%. Yes, it had been profligately wasteful.

This change: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.ponie.changes/168

At this point I'm far more concerned with correctness and readability than
speed, but any suggestions for small, clear changes that speed things up
would be welcome. Patches doubly so.
