The latest in SVN (v3.99.0.7) includes new JIT support on x86 for inlining flonum (i.e., inexact real) arithmetic. I expect to fill in x86_64 and PPC support next week. This change makes inexact-heavy microbenchmarks run 2-3 times as fast. It might be useful for real programs, too, but I don't seem to have any interesting floating-point applications to try out.
