See attached patch.

Main point of the patch is to move read and writes that happened
global/all branches, into the branch were they are required, and
therefore less asm ops execute if "GIMME == G_ARRAY". This was the 8th
hottest opcode in a personal script I ran.

I tried to do some profiling with a script that calls pp_list ~70000
times per process then dumps the average at the end but any difference
below Win32's QueryPerformanceCounter's precision. If anyone is
interested I can attach the patches used to generate the numbers below.

how to read, float is time in us, 2nd number is CPU ticks for calling
pp_list, 3rd number is overhead of QPC, 2 calls to QPC 1 after another
then subtracted, 2nd number HAS NOT been subtracted from 3rd

Subject: [PATCH] refactor pp_list

-move PL_stack_sp and PL_stack_base reads into the branch in which they
 are used, this also removes 1 var from being saved across the function
 call in GIMME, which removes saving and restoring 1 non-vol register
-write SP to PL_stack_sp (PUTBACK) only if it was changed
-POPMARK is mutable, it must execute on all branches

this reduced pp_list's machine code size of the function from 0x58 to
0x53 bytes on VC 2003 -01 32 bits
