@Paolo: I'm going to be looking into converting more common sequences into superinstructions. We only have LOAD_CONST+XXX so far. The others are difficult because vmgen doesn't provide easy ways to deal with error handling, but Jakob and I have come up with a couple ideas to get around that. Replication would be trickier since we want the bytecode generation to be deterministic, but it's probably doable too. I'll post any significant results I get.
