By the way, I'd like you to follow up on my question regarding the
following exchange. Since you had professional experiences here, I'd
like to hear what you say:

In my last job I worked on a compiler for 10 years, and in that time
its performance improved by 50% and its codesize by 30%.
I would call that a good improvement rate, especially considering
the compiler was pretty good to start with.

What precisely do you attribute these changes to? At least, what are
the few more important changes?

I'd be interested to hear.

Thanks,
Jon
