Interpreter cleanup

[Sergey Kuksenko]

I confirm that given patch gives 8%-30% the interpreter performance 
speedup (depends on scenario).

Previously sent Roland's patch (under review now) also gives a huge 
speedup for interpreter.

Together Frederic's patch + Roland's patch gives 1.5x-2.8x times speedup 
for the interpreter.

I'll do full report when both patches will be committed.
