I may have found one big problem, using some rexml benchmarks I found.
The instance-variable logic I just added seems like it might not be
working right. It was supposed to be experimental and turned off, but
I used the wrong flag.

The parsing cases are still slow, so there's something happening there.

For those following along, the sampled profile (-Xprof, or --sample
passed to JRuby) showed me that my instance variable fallback paths
were getting hit heavily, which is how I figured out something's wrong
there.
