What's wrong with the underlying architecture of Flash that makes it poor on Arm?

  (First sorry for the incoherent rambling above, it made sense when I wrote it) The flash machine architecture (at least last time I read about it, about a year ago) was based on a stack architecture, which is pretty okay on an x86 but doesn't work very well on an ARM processor primarily because it is optimized for register use (and has a lot more registers than is normally used in x86).
