On examples the result ran between 1.5 and 4 times faster than the original.
Partial evaluation yields large basic blocks which parallelize well.
Well-documented good results for various languages. Specialization is worthwhile when pgm runs long, and pgm-s is significantly faster than pgm . Programs with many similar subcomputations . Programs of a highly interpretive nature , e.g. circuit and other simulators, where specialization removes the time to scan the object being simulated. Database query search algorithms.
