Don't wanna hijack the thread but
One (relatively) less-spoken thing about such compiler optimization passes is that they also benefit traditional superscalar processors anyway so you end up with this situation:
- If the compiler is Sufficiently Smart™, then traditional processors will do just as well as VLIW ones
- If the compiler is *not* Sufficiently Smart™, however, traditional processors will be able to recover a little bit of performance meanwhile VLIW ones will have to deal with all those NOP slots
