As I mentioned in my previous blog entry, the most significant factor in a recompiler's speed is simply the fact that it's acting as a decoded-instruction cache, and that it executes instructions in bursts (a block at a time instead of one-by-one). All the rest of these techniques tend to be more for the factors of code maintainability and academic challenge than for end-user performance gains.
