Description Filip Pizlo 2013-03-20 13:45:14 PDT 
The DFG currently does a lot of great high-level optimizations, but still keeps it pretty simple when it comes to low-level ones.  One option for fixing this would be to write a great backend from scratch.  That would be super fun.  But before we do that, it would be cool to do a sort of limit study to explore how much LLVM would give us.

Just a joke: FTL in BSG means Faster Than Light, lets aim that speed ;)
