The implementation was based on OCaml version which doesn't allocate a
block either for leafs. But anyway I modified the program to perform
allocation and walk on each leaf, so it should now be "comparabl". I get
the following results now :
4.2x in -interp, 8x in JIT

Neko interpreter should run better on your machine than mine, since GCC
does better job at allocating important registers than MSVC.
