It has it's own assembler, gas was only used temporarily. With that
intermediate assembler step it's still slower than hardcoding
opcodes as in vm_86 of course.

I'm sorry, but this VM caching stuff is not going to happen. A user could
overwrite previously cached VMs much more easily and thus circumvent the pure
checks more easily.
However, if you've got a patch which would remove the intermediary assembling
step and thus improve speed I'd be willing to look at this again.
