Wasn't V8 written in a cottage in Denmark? http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/03775904-177c-11de-8c9d-0000779fd2... I cannot imagine that they would take unreasonable shortcuts.

Well, unreasonable now was probably perfectly reasonable at the time of implementation. Perhaps they even have or had a plan to improve upon it, but given other tasks (ES6, etc.) it hasn't been given much priority.

I mean, why would they fix it with high priority if the engine already has reasonable performance and the benchmarks are happy as well?
