You probably should run a couple other benchmarks, in addition, for
greater confidence that this optimization actually brings any palpable
improvement and is not just causing code bloat.

For example, last time I did a perf profile of a kernel build on AMD
F15h, the PILERDRIVER "optimization" was actually even a bit worse than
the standard MK8 one.
