I experimented with it once, mostly because the AMD K6 optimization manual
said that pushing function args should be implemented by subtracting
from the stack pointer and then using mov insns to set the arguments.
Unfortunately, it didn't seem to be a win in the benchmarks I tried - most
likely because the code size increased quite a bit.
