The main area where I'd expect link time optimization (either LLVM GCC 
or GCC LTO) to make a difference is with separately compiled codes like 
Swarm and Swarm models having lots of small code blocks that ought to be 
inlined.  As far as dynamic recompilation goes, LLVM has the 
infrastructure for that, but implementing trace trees 
(http://andreasgal.com) or anticipating dynamic method dispatch would be 
new work (as far as I am aware).
