We should be optimizing all protocols insteads of just putting the core protocols on the fast path. In the current design we put the protocol mask on instance - this wastes a considerable amount of space, instead we should be putting it on the prototype. This benchmark appears to show no performance hit for this approach jsperf.com/prototype-bit-mask.
In order to have fewer tests satisfies? and protocol fns should generate different code for the different compilation modes - in anything but advanced we should just use the boolean property on the prototype, in advanced we should use the bit mask approach.
