I think I remeber seeing a paper about techniques for writing code generators in Haskell targeting stack based bytecodes that encoded bytecode sequences in a way that the typechecker could give you some sanity guarantees, and then talked a bit about using dynamic programming for optimizing bytecode sequences. I haven't turned up anything searching Google and CiteSeer (though I don't really know good words to search for), so I'm hoping someone here remembers. A friend of mine is implementing a Scheme -> OCaml bytecode compiler for a class and I think some of the ideas from that paper would help, whatever they were. Thanks Brandon
