No. Just run the test suite. Hopefully that by itself is already faster. :-)

Shouldn't be, but that's a good testcase.

I'm just concerned about having it build on more systems and see if
it's ok. If it's easy for you to integrate building this branch into
your regular workflow, please do so.

Also, because finally having JIT compilation is exciting. :-) Maybe
you could try this on some loopy code of yours and see if you get
speedups.
