Take shoop benchmarks (this is an old shoop tree I had lying around):

bash: 1000 shoop 1st-stage resolver method calls                  : 0:05.51
ash : 1000 shoop 1st-stage resolver method calls                  : 0:01.33
bash: 1000 shoop 2nd-stage resolver method calls                  : 0:08.33
ash : 1000 shoop 2nd-stage resolver method calls                  : 0:02.23
bash: 1000 shoop 2nd-stage(nocache) resolver method calls         : 0:08.19
ash : 1000 shoop 2nd-stage(nocache) resolver method calls         : 0:02.27

(On a TM5800 with the cpu set to run at 333 to 533 mhz.)
