If I finish implementing my pass, get 1% in sunspider, I would be more than happy to replace it with yours (even if it needs an extra folding pass) if it got 2%.

OK, fine, I will confine my comments on your patch to issues that apply regardless of whether I make progress on my own project.  My goal was certainly not to block your work.  I just thought it would be good to coordinate our efforts.

I'm not going to have time today to write up any more details of my plans.  I'll still try to make it a priority.
