Yes, that's the crux of the whole thing. It's the reason it's so hard to compile Python to anything that runs significantly faster than interpreted code.
Another optimisation for something like ADD, was to to check for very common types such as INT, and deal with those locally.
And then you're on the path to writing a JIT compiler. If you can identify such cases, you might as well generate machine code for them. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
