This goes in the wrong direction I feel. Instead, add support to
expose more of the assembly to the compiler, and have the compiler
generate the `more optimal' code. I think you'll win better that way.
You can then have the full power of the optimizer to optimize.
If you want a concrete example, show me what you wanted to do (and
annotate it some so I can grasp what you want and why it is better.
