I tested the branch, and can verify that it seems to be working really
well for me. I no longer any noticable slowdown at compilations
whatsoever, so that's really great for me. I'll probably be running this
until the code gets its way into release, so thanks a lot!

I haven't tested it a whole lot yet, but I too haven't noticed any
regressions thus far.

For the record, I'm not noticing this. I tried setting a breakpoint, and
there's still no problem whatsoever when new code is JITted.
