How does this compare to the techniques used in the wasm3 (name, not description)?

architecture of M3 the interpreter core of wasm3 https://github.com/wasm3/wasm3/blob/main/docs/Interpreter.md

I have looked into Meta Machines. They are not what I want.

Meta Machines can be almost as fast, but i just prefer the cache locality of local functions.

Wasm3 is slower than MiniVM when you don't count the GC. Wasm3 is very cool!

How do the architectures of the two interpreters differ?

Not trying to challenge your system but learn.

Can Wasm be translated to run on MiniVM? If MiniVM is pure C it can run on Wasm.
