What opcode dispatch strategies are used in efficient interpreters?

Question

What techniques promote efficient opcode dispatch to make a fast interpreter? Are there some techniques that only work well on modern hardware and others that don\'t work we

Answer 1

Benchmarking is a good technique on making anything fast on given platform(s). Test, refine, test again, improve.

I don't think you can get any better answer. There's lot of techniques to make interpreters. But I give you a tip, do not do trade offs, just choose what you really need and pursue those goals.
