No, I'm really happy with CPS. Restoring the whole context by invoke'ing the return continuation is a very elegant and efficient way to do it, not speaking from tail calls ... > He's worried that the P6C tests > break, ... albeit this is still an issue.

Jonathans patch that went in originally had this bad performance. But with separating the Sub/Continuation setup from the actual subroutine call (which amongst other things my patches did), performance is back again at the old level. In fact the current CPS implementation is faster then the old invoke/ret scheme. I estimate the final speed, when all needed context things are saved, to be about the same as invoke/ret w/o much context saving. > Whee! My first anniversary! Congrats and thanks for your great summaries. leo
