Why is dispatch so fast?

[Richard Gaskin]

For anyone here who's read enough of the source to have figured this out 
(which I guess means Monte and Mark Wieder):

Why is the dispatch command so much faster than do, send, or call?

Is there an option to optimize the others, or something unique about 
dispatch that allows it to be between 30% and 50% faster?


Bonus points:  Why is the Server standalone engine so much larger than 
the Linux standalone engine?

Ah, the mysteries of the code base....
