Comment(by dterei):

 No, no one has.  Depends on how 'low' you want the fruit. I think we have
 a number of ideas that are worth trying. They are discussed on the wiki
 page and the tickets it links to:
 http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary/Compiler/Backends/LLVM/Alias

 Those ideas aren't too hard to implement and while we don't know, we do
 suspect they can be a big win in some situations. Finding someone with the
 time, knowledge and motivation to tackle them is hard though. It is a
 solid week or two of work probably to try them out properly.
