There has been much discussion recently about
the relative merits of inline expansion vs.
threaded code....

I am a relatively experienced Prolog user,
(I work on implementations of NL systems written
in Prolog) but I have never worked on implementations
of Prolog itself, or read much about that aspect of Prolog.
Consequently, I do not have much of an idea
of what this discussion is all about,
but would  like to find out more.
If some kind soul would be willing to provide
some background, or, better yet, give some references
to papers/books discussing this general area,
I would greatly appreciate the enlightenment.

Many thanks,

--Francois Lang
