Precaution: I don't know whether the results below are influenced by my switch from -O2 to -O3 when compiling mesa.

GPU: R9 390
Metro 2033 Redux: +8% avg fps
Metro Last Light Redux: +7% avg fps

Don't trust this unless somebody else confirms these numbers.

Did not see any difference in EVE-Online (Using nine).

Those optimizations might break some rendering, so keep an eye on it And never use -Ofast on mesa or llvm

But no i don't think Metros use stencils... some older games uses stencil for shadows, reflections, glowing...

It might be you gain some perf from reverted workaround, but not from HiS actually
