If we enable tracing with computed goto, we should only expect to get
better performance than tracing with switch or tracing with
function-pointer. What I'm saying is:
op27:
/* stuff */
pc+=3;
/* tracing or whatever code goes here */
goto *lookup[*pc];
That'll still be faster than switch()ing or function-pointer; it just
won't be as fast as untracing, which I think users can accept and
understand.
