x86-G1! I'm curious to hear what the speedups for the self-compile are.

These are about 10K too large. Probably just due to some dead code elimination
not yet in your snapshot.

I'll say. Faster on every benchmark (checksum is noise :-P -- anyways, we're
already 8x faster than NJ on that one). I like the compile times too, but I
still bet there's even more room there.

Your priorities sound good to me. Maybe we should all sit in on a summer-end
conference call next week to do a little planning and decision making. Matthew,
what does your time table look like? When do you think would be a good time to
merge in your stuff? Would you like me to try do so with the snapshot that you
made today?
