Implementing fast interpreters

The webkit community announced Squirrelfish last month, showing important performance improvements.

The post has some links LtU readers may find of intererst (such as The Structure and Performance of Efficient Interpreters, by M. Anton Ertl and David Gregg, November, 2003).

I am thinking of building a Scheme interpreter using a (TR) SECD machine, and I would be most grateful if any LtU readers would be so kind as to provide some additional links about improving interpreter performance.
