what exactly is it trying to do? The only changes I can notice are:
- the bytecode interpreter and the eval and funcall functions now check two
values rather than one, thus being slower.
- read_char tests gc_cons_threshold.
There is code that temporarily changes gc_cons_threshold to prevent
GC from occurring. It was broken and caused an infinite recursion.
I think this is the clean fix.
The slowdown is surely insignificant.
