The improvement comes from the use of a cache to speed up the
retrieval of struct fields. This commit also adds a new benchmark to
measure the performance gain.

So is this only if no env is provided? What is a case of compiling without the knowing which env? |

No it's also when the field of a struct is an interface. I didn't pass an env in the test to be sure that OpFetch is used instead of OpLoadField |

We only need field.Index, can we just store that in the map instead of storing all the *reflect.StructField?

Good catch! I've pushed a new commit to fix that (0fa18af)
