I'll get a more general TR set of release notes, but I don't think the
optimizer commits are likely to have sped things up much on large
programs -- they mostly fixed corner case and bugs, and refactored for
clarity. It may be that some programs do see a speed-up, in which case
we can include a benchmark for that.
