Anyone interested in the space vs. speed problem in optimization
should (of course) read the classic:


%A William A. Wulf
%A Richard K. Johnsson
%A Charles B. Weinstock
%A Steven O. Hobbs
%A Charles M. Geschke
%T The Design of an Optimizing Compiler
%P 165
%I ELSEVIER
%C New York
%D 1975


They were interested in the problem since they were compiling for
a PDP-11. As an example, I believe their Bliss-11 compiler would try to
recognize common code sequences, and would `hoist' this code into
a subroutine call!
