Yup. There's the function preamble and postamble that get executed,
which can slow things down relative to computed goto, which doesn't
have to execute them.
This brings up an interesting point. Should we consider making at
least some of the smaller utility functions JITtable? Not the opcode
functions, but things in string.c or pmc.c perhaps. (Or maybe getting
them inlined would be sufficient for us)
