When you are optimizing a program, you have a specific part of code to improve. The part can be found with profiler.
When you are optimizing a compiler generated code, you have many similar parts of code in many programs and not-so-specific part of compiler that can be improved.

To correctly apply privatization one has to have correct dependency analysis. This analysis uses results of many other analyses, for example, value range analysis, something like Fourier-Motzkin algorithm, etc.
So this agentic-optimized compiler has a program where privatization is not applied, what tweaks should agents apply?
