I ran some codesize benchmarks we have and they were in the same ballpark. Some of these are quite small so had less opportunity for outlining, but the average was still over 3% with some as high as 9-10%.

I made the same experiments during the last weeks inside Linaro and
got the same kind of figures.

Porting the outliner on ARM is in my plans for this year (as discussed
with other ARM folks at EuroLLVM last week), to avoid duplication is
it ok for you if I work on it, David, Jessica ?
