Sorry. About 10-12% on most test-cases. But, it's really more than
that; we're only seeing a reduction in peak usage by about 10-12%
because of the fact that the space that would have been used by
null-pointer checking is still getting filled up later in the
compilation by the bodies of various inlined functions.
The patch limits memory usage by the null-pointer checking pass to
about 10MB. Before it was using 150MB.
