The experiments yielded that for several programs the statically retrieved data is enormously worse. An example proves that feedback-directed compilers could greatly enhance program performance for the expected subset of pointers. Also the data can provide an optimistic up to optimal estimate of the points-to sets, which can be used if the statically obtained data is too coarse to be useful.
