Do these passes actually help on benchmarks?

I don't think we should be dismissive of "benchmark toy" passes if they 
actually improve benchmarks significantly.  We don't have to like it, 
but we should accept that people are going to benchmark GCC against its 
proprietary competition, and that having good benchmark results matters.
