hayley: Did you ever write those toy functions and read the generated LIR to get an idea of how well register allocation is performing?

Everything I could think of involved function calls, which don't provide a lot to look at.

I see, yes. I guess we don't do enough optimizations yet.

But I could write inlined code myself with the right primop forms.

Sure, I'll see when I have a crack at it.

Are you aware of Ivan Burrough's PhD thesis "Register allocation and spilling using the expected distance heuristic"?
