These are - cache `Bd' display types as `Bl' types are cached (this primarily improves code-size by removing the a2disp type functions) - improve caching mechanism to handle other per-element arguments so that they need not be recalculated between front- and back-ends (also reduces code size and complexity) - improve hashing mechanism for macros (quite important: performance) - improve hashing mechanism for characters (not as important)
