I wasn't expecting you to write the code, but if you can test it and
see how much it helps your use-case, that would be great.

Here is a v1 patch series that does the first part of what we've been
talking about, which is to implement the new optimization rule for
the case of a single RHS reference to the target variable. I'm
curious to know if it helps you at all by itself. You'll definitely
also need commit 534d0ea6c, so probably applying these on our git
master branch would be the place to start.
