I have it right.

Already the second step "now switch to direct-threaded code" switches
to DTC (but not the debugging engine), and "+dynamic superinstructions
with replication" introduces the mixture of DTC and native code
generation.  The switch to the benchmarking engine is the step after
that, and I explained it in another posting.
