If you find sequences of byte-code that are worth optimizing that is possible without changing the byte code itself. Modern CPU's use pipe lines to look at the instruction stream and figure out fast ways to run the code. The same method could be used in pythons VM.
As others have pointed out its up to someone to prove that the added complexity in the VM gives a desirable improvement in performance.
