My work focuses on optimizing object structure by inline allocating
objects inside containing objects. This involves rearranging object
layout quite drastically as a global program transformation. I'm not
sure if this is what interests you (the examples in your post involved
single objects), but if so, check out ``Automatic Inline Allocation of
Objects'' at PLDI'97 which is available at
http://www-csag.cs.uiuc.edu/papers/pldi97.ps
