performance of the compiler by about 20%.
* optimization: performance of FILL (and :INITIAL-ELEMENT) on
simple-base-strings and simple-bit-vectors is improved.
+ * optimization: the optimization of 32-bit logical and arithmetic
+ functions introduced in version 0.8.3 on the x86 has been
+ implemented on the ppc.
* microoptimization: the compiler is better able to make use of the
x86 LEA instruction for multiplication by constants.
* bug fix: in some situations compiler did not report usage of
