'fraid not.
Both PRE and store motion know precisely when they conflict (I.E. they use 
true_dependence), and when they aren't available/antic (I.E. Their register 
operands changed).
It's faster because it doesn't require removing from a hash table, just 
setting or resetting a bit in a bitvector.
