I will be investigating this further.
Hopefully I can improve the front-end algorithm for recycling temps,
and achieve slightly better overall performance.
It's generally better to use fewer temps if possible, because
fewer dangling references will exist, and therefore
fewer sequence copies will have to be made. I don't think it
would be a good idea to clear all temps of references
as soon as possible. Temps often hold integers,
so it would be a waste of time to issue an IL op just to
dereference them.
This is an optimization issue, not a correctness issue.
There are degrees of "goodness" I (or anyone with the PD source)
can achieve here. It's not a straightforward matter of
"fixing" something that's broken.
