Hi All --
I'm curious to know how Euphoria will perform under the new chips,
specifically Linux Euphoria on MobileLinux...this looks pretty big.

What got my attention was the fact that the software does optimizations of
the x86 instructions. It sort of has meta-knowledge about blocks of code
that it's going to execute, and caches translated blocks of code. I seem to
recall that Ardi does something similar with Executor, their Mac emulator.
If Euphoria supported a 'case' statement, I suppose it could be self-tuning,
with the most frequent occurances being promoted to the top if the chain,
and less frequent demoted. You can't do that with an 'if' block though,
because the order of testing is actually important.
