>From talking to Ben, who rewrote the register allocator over the
summer, he said that the new graph based register allocator is pretty
good. The thing that is holding it back is the CPS conversion bit,
which was also being rewritten over the summer, but didn't get
finished. I think these are both things which are likely to be done
for 6.10.

Thanks
