Re: Merging tuples branch into mainline today

Do these passes actually help on benchmarks?

I don't think we should be dismissive of "benchmark toy" passes if they actually improve benchmarks significantly. We don't have to like it, but we should accept that people are going to benchmark GCC against its proprietary competition, and that having good benchmark results matters.
