Not surprised Google Chrome is getting higher marks on the GameBoy Color emulator. Firefox grinds on graphics a lot, probably at least partially due to the "large functions" compiling issue JM/TI has.

Anyhow, all JITs should be converting the someArray[someIndex](this, arg1, ...) style calls into dispatch tables, as the whole GB-EMU was targeted as using such.

Oh damn, I somehow commented in the wrong comment section. The two comments above were meant for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785079

Why was bug 807159 even made when this existed, sigh.

Because it's useless to remove all dependencies of bug 807159 and recreate them for this one after the merge, it's just bug spamming.
