[Mono-list] Fwd: Optimization

[Jonathan Lima]

Yes, compile time optimizations will vary, but only before code generation,
like removing unnecessary code paths, optimizing switches, ifs, loops etc.
During code generation the compiler might or might not know that using some
specific opcode might be faster in it target platform than other opcode for
doing the same thing, but I doubt that this occurs as the instruction set
is very small(compared to others) and this would be like micro optimization.
