The main things I worked on this month were:
* finished off making the op_private OP flags and data be auto-generated from a single consistent source.
* I started to investigate how the allocation and growing of strings (in Perl_sv_grow()) interacts (sometimes badly) with COW and the underlying malloc() library implementation
* reviewing, discussing, fixing up and applying Syber's method call optimisation work
