Hmm, for micro-benchmark maybe, but this has to be measured once the JIT is ready.
From the stack VM, I can notice a slight slowdown w.r.t. 32 bits stack.
But it doesn't really matter, stak is too slow compared to COG, so let's wait.

So is it correct to think that a lot of number oriented computation will go faster because not on large positive integers?

SmallInteger maxVal highBit -> 60.
3 bits reserved for immediate tags, 1 bit for sign, 60 remaining for positive magnitude...

Super !!!
Eliot what will be

1 class maxval
then?
