I have seen one paper with numbers on all of this. It is from
ACM SIGARCH Computer Arch. News, probably sometime in late 85,
early 86, called

Reduced Register Saving/Restoring in Single-Window Register Files
Tomas Lang and Miquel Huguet

and deals with various schemes in a UN*X PCC environment.
Unfortunately, they specifically do not deal with optimizing
compilers.  I am unconvinced that the rather complicated
call/return instructions they propose are superior to RISC
but it is interesting reading.
