AFAIR -fschedule-insns (as opposed to -fschedule-insns2) is normally a loss
sicne the first scheduling pass is done before register allocation, so the
register pressure increases and local/global get's problems. (for fpu code
it _could_ be beneficial, though).
the second scheduling pass is done after register allocation, so no
"new" hardware registers are created.
