I think the fundamental problem is that Perl has too many hooks (operation overloading, constant overloading, variable type overloading, custom opcodes, etc) that prevent optimizations without changing the language. We can't even guarantee that 2 returns a number (e.g. when using use bigint;), so we're stuck with fat opcodes that must be able to accept any kind of value.
