That would be really cool, if feasable.  A few questions:

The SPEC scores so far don't show much runtime performance improvements
and compile time is still worse, too (I have also seen compiler
performance PRs that are fixed in tree-ssa because of GIMPLE, but...)
Do you have some target numbers for tree-ssa compile time performance
and memory usage when all infrastructure work is finished (ie. un-SSA
and copyprop working), and how much improvement do you expect from
performance tuning.
Any idea if it's possible to turn off one or two RTL optimizers ;-)?

And wouldn't it be better to merge tree-ssa after the new register
allocator is finished?
