Description
Superinstructions offer a small speedup, but their existence complicates things; mainly instrumentation, and specialization.
The tier2 optimizer is likely to be simpler without superinstructions.
This experiment shows that combining the most common superinstructions into single instructions can outperform superinstructions, rendering superinstructions pointless.
We have already removed almost all superinstructions in specialization. We should remove them altogether.
