Definitely.  It seems earlier this year than the last couple of years.

BTW, here are some (very) preliminary results of using the liveness of
stack slot info that's been propagated through:

            release    new
fib           10.26   6.43  -- awesome!
logic         53.96  51.47  -- nice
count-graphs   8.80   9.27  -- bad
vliw          12.85  12.22  -- ok
