New Revision: 40789
URL: https://trac.parrot.org/parrot/changeset/40789

Log:
[oo]  Remove the use of string name comparisons in VTABLE_isa_pmc checks.  
This results in a ~4.5% overall speed improvement for Rakudo's spectests.
In the process we also eliminate the creation of bogus PMCProxy objects
for instances of the Class PMC.  This commit also marks one test as "todo" 
that likely wasn't working properly to begin with.
