Thanks for the performance number. My change adds 2 runtime calls on
method returns with a value type from interpreted callee to interpreted
caller so a big performance drop is not surprising.

My understanding is that we don't care too much about interpreter
performance at this point. In any case, I would rather wait for
Frederic's buffering change to be pushed before considering any
improvement to the vreturn implementation.

Roland.
