When there are no events queued, for any thread, then we change branch
e_handler_foo back into branch label_foo, for speed.
Do we need to do this last bit explicitly? Or can we do it

The signal handler (interrupt code) switches the op_func_table (ops_addr)
and returns.
Then the next executed

To be able to switch function tables, this then should become:
PC = ((op_func_t*) (func_table + *PC)) (PC, INTERP);
Thus predereferncing the function pointer would place an offset

I don't know, how to get the address of the next instruction i.e. the
PC above. Going this way would either mean:

The easiest way to intercept this flow with minimal cost is to
have the mechanism that wants to take over replace the interpreter's
op_func_table with a block of pointers

- When will we check, it there are events in the event queue?
If we check too often (between each two ops), it will slow things down.
If we don't check often enough, the code might manage to avoid checking
for events entirely.
I would suggest that every flow

The trick is to find the cheapest possible way to get conditional
processing to occur if and only if there are events in the event
queue.
I'll only be considering the fast core here for simplicity. But,
if you look at include/parrot/interp_guts.h, the only thing of
interest there is
