[fpc-devel] x86_64 Optimizer Overhaul

[J. Gareth Moreton]

 I think this was intended for the mailing list - I'm looking forward to it
too.  Depends on what Florian says though.

 The overhaul primarily increases the speed of compilation, but it makes
some minor improvements to conditional branches here and there. 
Nevertheless, I'm always happy to find a saving here and there in the
compiled assembly language!

 Hello Gareth, 

 I'm looking forward for the implementation of your optimizer, as the gain
of speed of execution for 
 programs running hours a day is very welcome ! But I'll wait for an
official upgrade of the production trunk. 

 Cheers, Ched'
