Detailed info to optimzations

• Cached frame fields (code, ip, basePtr, consts) as locals in the execute loop
• Inlined readByte/readUint16 as closures instead of method calls
• Small integer cache (-128 to 127) avoids allocations for common values

• Inline fast paths for int+int add, subtract, and compare directly in the switch cases

Planned for next release: (1.4.0)
