Interesting.
Could this be combined with the ACOVEA compiler flag thing you did a
while back to produce a tool that would automatically improve
performance of programs on a fixed architecture/environment just by
recompiling and running it?
A bit longer term, but yes. So far I've got individual approaches for
improving performance by finding:

    * inlining points
    * strictness flags
    * `par` points
    * LLVM flags
    * RTS GC flags

They just need to be integrated into a coherent set of tools and written
up :-)
