------- Additional Comments From dalej at apple dot com 2004-11-04 23:31 ------- It does say that, and I expect cases can be constructed where the comment is true, but it is not completely right. When you replace 2 copies of code with 1 copy you are generally making it smaller. Plus, there is a beneficial interaction with RTL invariant hoisting, as it exposes more invariants when you do hoisting inside a loop.
