I wouldn't worry.  I've seen some horrible examples from our code - I 
just never got around asking why it did this.

Imagine you have a loop which needs quite a few array pointers 
(generated by strength reduction) and also quite a few floating point 
registers to hold intermediate values.  Because of the wrong ordering 
you'll see a lot of int->fp->int shuffling ...
