Performance optimizations for the bytecode interpreter:
1. DynamicVariableManager: Change Stack to ArrayDeque (no synchronization)
2. Add usesLocalization flag to InterpretedCode
- BytecodeCompiler tracks when LOCAL_* or PUSH_LOCAL_VARIABLE opcodes are emitted
- BytecodeInterpreter skips getLocalLevel/popToLocalLevel/RegexState.save
when the code doesn't use localization
This reduces overhead for subroutines that don't use `local` variables.
Benchmark (without Benchmark.pm overhead): 357/s interpreter vs 1250/s JVM

- Stack → ArrayDeque changes in DynamicVariableManager and InterpreterState - usesLocalization flag to skip unnecessary DVM calls - Benchmark results: 357/s interpreter vs 1250/s JVM Generated with [Devin](https://cli.devin.ai/docs) Co-Authored-By: Devin <noreply@cognition.ai>
- Add cachedFrame field to InterpretedCode - Add getOrCreateFrame() method that returns cached frame when names match - Modify InterpreterState.push() to use pre-created frame - Add pushFrame() method for direct frame reuse This avoids allocating a new InterpreterFrame record on every subroutine call. The frame is cached on first use and reused for subsequent calls with the same package/subroutine names. Generated with [Devin](https://cli.devin.ai/docs) Co-Authored-By: Devin <noreply@cognition.ai>
Bug fix: When creating closures via withCapturedVars(), the usesLocalization flag and cachedFrame were not copied to the new InterpretedCode instance. This caused the DynamicVariableManager optimization to not work for closures. Performance improvement: 330/s → 384/s (16% faster) on closure benchmark Profiler now shows: - No more DynamicVariableManager.popToLocalLevel calls - No more RegexState.save calls - No more DynamicVariableManager.getLocalLevel calls Generated with [Devin](https://cli.devin.ai/docs) Co-Authored-By: Devin <noreply@cognition.ai>
- Interpreter now 57% faster (274/s → 430/s) - JVM backend is 3.2x faster than interpreter - Document remaining hotspots from JFR profiling Generated with [Devin](https://cli.devin.ai/docs) Co-Authored-By: Devin <noreply@cognition.ai>
- JFR profiling workflow with jperl and jfr command analysis - Common interpreter overhead sources (synchronized collections, DynamicVariableManager, object allocations, ThreadLocal) - Optimization flag pattern with important note about preserving flags when copying objects - Pre-allocation pattern for reusable objects - Profiler-guided optimization workflow - Example results from Phase 4 work (+57% improvement) Generated with [Devin](https://cli.devin.ai/docs) Co-Authored-By: Devin <noreply@cognition.ai>

Bottlenecks should be discovered through profiling, not assumed. Generated with [Devin](https://cli.devin.ai/docs) Co-Authored-By: Devin <noreply@cognition.ai>

The usesLocalization optimization was skipping DynamicVariableManager calls for code without local variables, but this broke defer blocks and regex state save/restore which also use DVM. Added PUSH_DEFER and SAVE_REGEX_STATE to the list of opcodes that set usesLocalization = true. Generated with [Devin](https://cli.devin.ai/docs) Co-Authored-By: Devin <noreply@cognition.ai>
This reverts commit 73955d9. The commit caused a regression in re/pat.t (1064 vs 1065). Copying usesLocalization from parent to closure incorrectly skipped DVM cleanup for closures that use regex state via (?{...}) code blocks. The safe default (usesLocalization = true) should be used for closures until a proper fix that accounts for regex state in closures.
