Our of curiousity, I configured the MIPS/Linux interpretive kaffe
with --disable-debug, for speed, and ran the Embedded CaffeieneMark
benchmark.  Comparing the result with an equivalent 1.0.7-based build,
we can see that a bunch of things have improved a little, some things
have stayed the same, and that something has slowed down dramatically
in string handling which more than cancells all the other improvements.
