Probably a stupid question... But can't you group the code for the most
often used constructs? So that, if one of those things is loaded in the
cache, the others are in there with it?

If all the less needed stuff is more at the back of the executable, it
wouldn't even have to be loaded, most of the time.

Besides, I'm more worried about unnecessarily loading 600k from disk,
than from main memory to cache. For short-lived scripts, this loading
overhead could be quite significant.
