Yes, this is relative to mainline.

I believe so, but we need to run trivial optimization passes first.
genericizing produces some redundant mess that gets accounted (the
redundant mess is of course implicitly in GENERIC and language-specific
trees representation too so this is not real a regression) and makes the
results less accurate.
I hope to have size esimate patch today. Once -funit-at-a-time gets
re-enabled we can start poking around with reordering the inliner and
optimization passes.
