Mostly what I go for in individual insns,though I try to make sure that the lengths are equal and it's something generated by the named patterns. I.e. make sure that the patterns you do have don't have a lot of multiple insns to accomplish a single task, but also make sure that you're generating the insns in the first place :) -eric
