Hi Nicolas,

Hi Eliot,
look how I did it in the 32bits LargInt variant:

if the 32-bit large int version passes all the tests why hasn't it replaced the byte one?

Yes, 32bits large int pass all tests.

I use such modified VM exclusively.

All the code is maintained at http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~nice/NiceVMExperiments for classical VM and Cog.

I have not tested anything on Spur yet, but do not expect major problem.

It works well as is, but I'd like some improvments:

- Prevent byte-wise copy to be used in BigEndian processor

- Provide accelerated primitives for byteAt: byteAt:put: operations (I don't remember how I implemented them currently, it's too long ago)
