In the last few months jnthn has added optimizing stages to the Rakudo/NQP/backends compiler stack. In [https://6guts.wordpress.com/2014/04/12/optimization-concurrency-and-moar/|his latest blog post] he outlines these stages and notes some early results from a few things he and timotimo have already done ("Array and hash access is more than 3 times faster, most multi-dispatches are now enormously cheaper").
