As I already mentioned in the #m-labs IRC channel a while back, there's already implementations (mor1kx) that are faster than LM32 in benchmarks. As for area, it is hard to make a *really* small OpenRISC 1000 implementation, since there are features in the architecture that prevents that (a lot of SPRs that are mandatory for example). That said, there's always room for improvements, so certainly, there's a task open for that.
