Stop trying to maximize the use of x(0)
X register 0 used to be mapped to a hardware register, and therefore faster than the other registers. Because of that, the compiler tried to use x(0) as much as possible as a temporary register. That was changed a few releases ago. X register 0 is now placed in the array of all X registers and has no special speed advantage compared to the other registers. Remove the code in the compiler that attempts to use x(0) as much as possible. As a result, the following type of instruction will be much less frequent: {put_list,Src,{x,0},{x,0}} Instead, the following type of instruction will be more frequent: {put_list,Src,{x,X},{x,X}} (Where X is an arbitrary X register.) Update the runtime system to specialize that kind of put_list instruction.
