Table 2 details the improvements in LOD frequency for certain programs which benefit from the LOD hoisting optimization. The improvement in decoupling efficiency which results from hoisting is illustrated in figure 4.

Some of the programs have optimized LOD penalties that are negligible in comparison with the minimum (processor virtual) execution time. However, some programs exhibit sufficient LODs that a closer investigation of their causes, and ways of ameliorating their effects, is warranted.
