The new beta (see http://www.jsoftware.com/download/jengine)
contains the first steps towards general support for operations-in-place.  Verb executions that can reuse an argument block do so. Previously operations in place were supported only for sentences matching a small number of restrictive templates.

An example is the phrase

,~/ i. 1000000

which used to take 10 seconds but now takes about 0.01 seconds.

I have tested this as much as I can, but I would be very grateful if J users would take the time to try it on their favorite code and report any problems.

The next release will see inplace execution supported for many more verbs.
