Right.  That's what I'd focus on first -- that's what I was looking
at when I realized eons ago when I realized that if we don't do a good
job at jump threading, then we have little hope of ever drastically
simplifying CSE.  I've been stuck in jump threading hell ever since :-)

Note I would _STRONGLY_ recommend people look at more than just the
compiler when evaluating the old CSE code.  In particular it is
important that we look at things like 64bit arithmetic on 32bit
hosts (which happens often in kernels, but not nearly as often
in user level benchmarks).
