A recent paper (of which I am one of the authors) is not specifically directed
at optimisation, but at program understanding. Since a smaller program is often
a more efficient progam there is a lot of overlap. Also, the simplicity metric
developed in the paper could be refined to an efficiency metric which aims to
reduce the amount of code and also replaces less efficient constructs by more
efficient but semantically equivalent constructs:
