GWT fast vs slow path

[Mark Roos]

Rémi asked

About reordering the chain of GWT, what do you want exactly ?

Well until the chain gets long enough to change to some form of table 
lookup it
would be nice if the GWTs which have the most 'fast' path test successes 
were moved
to the front of the chain.  In this case the 'fast' path being the direct 
invoke not the 
chained GWTs. 

I think that perhaps it would always be the case that the few  most often 
used GWTs were always a test and 
jump and the rest went into a table.  I am not sure how to make this 
decision or how often.

regards
mark
