You are not using them for parameter passing, but the compiler can still
use them for local data.  And most functions don't have more than four
parameters (plus four floating point parameters), so it is a minor
issue.  Also, x86 cpus have hardware specially aimed at making reads and
writes to stack data as fast as possible - there are special buffers for
this, because in 32-bit mode the x86 is so register-poor that the stack
is heavily used.

All in all, it is not going to make much of a difference - though I
fully agree that it makes sense to allow more parameters to be passed in
registers (because it costs nothing, and occasionally helps).

That's all true - but how many of these function calls need more than
four parameters?
