It may be the case that both need to exist in this case. I would imagine
that the C<use optimize> pragma should be able to give you really minute
control over this stuff. And yes, I was suggesting these changed be
localizable (at least some of them).
C<use less> might be good for general C<use less 'cpu'> stuff, as you
note.
