Bug #12274
Updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) over 8 years ago
Currently, accessing to instance variable is quite slower than accessing to local variable.
I think accessing to instance variable is basic operation and it should be fast, so tried to improve.

On mame's optcarrot benchmark, (https://github.com/mame/optcarrot/)
it is 10%(!) faster than trunk.
It increases in the maintenance cost a little, but can I commit it?
