The Self papers have some good descriptions of optimisation techniques
for a pure OO language. http://research.sun.com/self/papers/papers.html
In a VM-based language you can implement a tracing JIT which naturally
specializes away dynamic dispatch. Mike Pall wrote a short description
of how this works in the second half of his post to the Lua list
linked below, with some references to papers.
