One of the areas that was worked on was speeding up function calls, including changes related specifically to the frames. There isn't much that can be done about reducing the frame size, but I think a small reduction was done there. However, Richard Jones spent the first day of the sprint updating a patch which used zombie frames so that repeated calls to a function would use a cached frame that was already mostly initialized.
