I'm still at the “get it working at all” stage with callframes. The 
expensive part right now is that we're building a hashtable of variables 
on entry instead of using a LVT. The LVT will be (much!) cheaper, but 
needs me to finish off doing the metadata or it will just blow up in our 
faces. The hashtable approach was simpler to get started with.

So yes, slower is expected.
