18.14.3 .vm dispatch

The .vm dispatch command prints the current dispatching strategy in PVM (provided by Jitter). There are four different kind of dispatches:

• switch
• direct threading
• minimal threading
• no threading

no threading is the fastest one and the least portable dispatch, and switch is the slowest and the most portable one.

Jitter by default will use the most efficient dispatch which is both stable and available for the current configuration.
