When a constant doesn't fit in a single instruction, use two paired instructions instead of the constant pool. For example ADD $0xaa00bb, R0, R1 Used to rewrite to: MOV ?(IP), R11 ADD R11, R0, R1 Instead, do: ADD $0xaa0000, R0, R1 ADD $0xbb, R1, R1 Same number of instructions. Good: 4 less bytes (no constant pool entry) One less load. Bad: Critical path is one instruction longer. It's probably worth it to avoid the loads, they are expensive. Dave Cheney got us some performance numbers: https://perf.golang.org/search?q=upload:20170426.1 TL;DR mean 1.37% improvement.
