Going for low-hanging fruit, I'm going to try to eliminate a lot of
the excess name-mangling done by the C++ front-end. Preliminary data
indicates that some 5% of the memory in a relatively small program is
going for mangled names. There are 19392 mangled names generated by
the compiler -- of which some 500 or so are actually used in the
generated assembly. Pretty wasteful.
FYI,
