Does anyone know of a C compiler that will use its own profiling output
to generate faster runtime code?  I've long thought that a compiler that
didn't accept data about the runtime behavior of a program shouldn't
call itself a execution-time optimizing compiler - space maybe but not time.

					Thanks, Scott
