-XXX This section needs to be edited down.
-
 A bytecode transformation technique which reduces the amount of pointer
 dereferencing done in the inner loop of the interpreter by pre-converting
 opcode numbers into pointers to their opfuncs, and also converting the register
 numbers and constant numbers in the arguments to the ops into pointers.
 
-The original implementation by Gregor Purdy was posted on 2001-12-11.  On one
-test system, it resulted in a 22% speed increase on a test program with a tight
-inner loop.

-L<http://archive.develooper.com/perl6-internals@perl.org/msg06941.html>
-
-On 2001-12-18, predereferencing got a speed boost (to about 47% faster than the
-regular DO_OP inner loop -- without compiler optimizations turned on). This was
-due to an off-list (actually over lunch) suggestion by John Kennedy that
-instead of pre-initializing the new copy of the bytecode with NULL pointers, we
-pre-initialize it with pointers to a pseudo-opfunc that does the
-predereferencing whenever it is encountered.
-
-On 2002-04-11, Jason Gloudon suggested combining aspects of the Computed Goto
-Core and the Prederef[erencing] Core.

-The week of 2003-02-09, Leopold Toetsch combined Computed Goto and
-Predereferencing to produce the CGP core.

-This document can be considered your Number One entry point for starting to use
-the Parrot Compiler Tools (PCT). As there's a whole lot of acronyms flying
-around (see Parrot's glossary at
-L<https://github.com/parrot/parrot/blob/master/docs/glossary.pod>),
-this document will get you up and running within 10 minutes (that excludes
-building Parrot). Once you begin, it's a matter of getting your hands dirty and
-get experienced using the tools. Feel free to ask questions in
-the #parrot channel on irc.parrot.org .
