* Compiling sub on-the-fly is now implemented on PPC too [1]
* there are now commandline switches, which enable this optimization:
-Sj ... switch core, JIT if possible
-Cj ... CGP core, JIT if possible
E.g. on the powerbook (with speed setting dynamic - numbers might be
arbitrary)
$ time ./parrot -Oc -C examples/shootout/ack.pir 9
Ack(3, 9) = 4093
real 0m26.173s
$ time ./parrot -Oc -Sj examples/shootout/ack.pir 9
Ack(3, 9) = 4093
real 0m0.582s
(-Sj and -Cj are for sure very similar, as the main function doesn't
much)
