Optimized access to private/final global variables Especially the machine code version is now significantly faster, it will simply read the variable directly from the known byte offset instead of calling a function that resolves it in the vtable. Gives about a 20x speedup of trivial code along the lines of globala = globala + globalb; Also tried to disable some of the optimizations that causes lvalues to be generated instead of the desired global/assign_global opcodes. For now this is only done if the global variabeles are known to not be arrays, multiset, strings, mapping or objects, since those optimizations are needed to quickly append things to arrays (and mappings/multiset, but that is less common. It is also needed for destructive modifications of strings, something that is even less common).
