Why would anyone care about the performance of an access to an un-initialized variable? Rather than attempting to insure their diagnosis, and hopeful subsequent removal the specified code? Personally, see no value in producing faster garbage; although do see substantial value in producing compiled code which is strictly consistent with the specified program and native target behavior, regardless of its portability.
