The dragon book is a good general reference, but its a bit dated. 

The best book on optimization that I've seen is Muchnik:
http://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Compiler-Design-Implementation-Muchnick/dp/1558603204/sr=8-1/qid=1166545021/ref=sr_1_1/002-2644375-9125607?ie=UTF8&s=books 

For a discussion of compiling for modern architectures, Allen & Kennedy
is good:
http://www.amazon.com/Optimizing-Compilers-Modern-Architectures-Dependence-based/dp/1558602860/sr=8-4/qid=1166544883/ref=sr_1_4/002-2644375-9125607?ie=UTF8&s=books
