If we are talking of intrinsics in general, the lower level factoring has happened to some extent via the vmmagics, for api's the only way I can think of is pick out frequently used operations from perf runs etc. as Mikhail proposes. Some of the helper fastpaths could themselves be candidates in jitrino.opt, several JIT's offer an intrinsic for fast alocation, for example. We could leave the fastpaths in place for down level and new jit compilers.
Agree. Thanks, xiaofeng
