One could possibly refactor elements of the compiler, and the improvements to the optimizer might also help in places. I wouldn't call it a major priority though, although I will make suggestions if I spot anything. Granted, the niche that I've crafted for myself is assembly language optimisation, which is not appropriate for cross-platform source code.

On the other hand, it's much less error prone (no more alignment issues), much more portable and higher level. It's been in trunk for four years already though.
