Machine code efficiency

Another option would be to put the responsibility of popping the frame on the caller. But that would probably screw things up...

Hmm, I haven't looked at the source in a while, but just where does an F_RETURN jump to? Shouldn't F_RETURN just do a return? Ie, shouldn't F_RETURN be compiled as:

jmp F_RETURN

instead of

jsr F_RETURN jmp *%eax

?

A simple workaround would be to replace

jsr F_RETURN
jmp %eax

with:

jmp static_return_stub

; Somewhere global return_stub: jsr F_RETURN jmp %eax
