Considering that the floating point library is big enough to be disabled by default tells me you might run out of disk space compiling a single application.

That being said, if this can increase difficulty of sidechannel attacks and branch prediction, maybe it'd actually make sense for very isolated parts of some services.

I agree, I can see how it certain special circumstances/services this could be very useful.

However, I still expect someone to compile Quake with it by the end of the year.

They've apparently done DOOM already, and it's hours per frame. I don't want to think what Quake would be like.

To be clear, I (the HN submitter) have nothing to do with this, I just found it and thought it was great.

From the example images of original and obfuscated assembly, there's seems to be about a sixfold increase in the number of instructions (for that example, at least), so I imagine you'll see a similar binary size increase.
