ABSTRACT	Achieving good performance in bytecoded language interpreters is difficult without sacrificing both simplicity and portability. This is due to the complexity of dynamic translation ("just-in-time compilation") of bytecodes into native code, which is the mechanism employed universally by highperformance interpreters. We demonstrate that a few simple techniques make it possible to create highly-portable dynamic translators that can attain as much as 70% the performance of optimized C for certain numerical computations. Translators based on such techniques can offer respectable performance without sacrificing either the simplicity or portability of much slower "pure" bytecode interpreters. Keywords: bytecode interpretation, threaded code, inlining, dynamic translation, just-in-time compilation. 1 Introduction Bytecoded languages such as Smalltalk [Gol83], Caml [Ler97] and Java [Arn96, Lin97] offer significant engineering advantages over more conventional languages: higher levels of abst...	user correction - Legacy Corrections
