-<h2>Optimizations</h2>
-
-The optimization step of ProGuard can be switched off with the
-<a href="usage.html#dontoptimize"><code>-dontoptimize</code></a> option. For
-more fine-grained control over individual optimizations, experts can use the
-<a href="usage.html#optimizations"><code>-optimizations</code></a> option,
-with a filter based on the optimization names listed below. The filter works
-like any <a href="usage.html#filters">filter</a> in ProGuard.
-<p>
-
-The following wildcards are supported:
-
-<table cellspacing="10">
-<tr><td valign="top"><code><b>?</b></code></td>
- <td>matches any single character in an optimization name.</td></tr>
-<tr><td valign="top"><code><b>*</b></code></td>
- <td>matches any part of an optimization name.</td></tr>
-</table>
-
-An optimization that is preceded by an exclamation mark '<b>!</b>' is
-<i>excluded</i> from further attempts to match with <i>subsequent</i>
-optimization names in the filter. Make sure to specify filters correctly,
-since they are not checked for potential typos.
-<p>
-
-For example,
-"<code>code/simplification/variable,code/simplification/arithmetic</code>"
-only performs the two specified peephole optimizations.
-<p>
-
-For example, "<code>!method/propagation/*</code>" performs all optimizations,
-except the ones that propagate values between methods.
-<p>
-
-For example,
-"<code>!code/simplification/advanced,code/simplification/*</code>" only
-performs all peephole optimizations.
-<p>
-Some optimizations necessarily imply other optimizations. These are then
-indicated. Note that the list is likely to change over time, as optimizations
-are added and reorganized.

-ProGuard also provides some unofficial settings to control optimizations, that
-may disappear in future versions. These are Java system properties, which
-can be set as JVM arguments (with <code>-D.....)</code>:
-<dl>
-<dt><code><b>maximum.inlined.code.length</b></code> (default = 8 bytes)</dt>
-<dd>Specifies the maximum code length (expressed in bytes) of short methods
- that are eligible to be inlined. Inlining methods that are too long may
- unnecessarily inflate the code size.</dd>
-
-<dt><code><b>maximum.resulting.code.length</b></code> (default = 8000 bytes
- for JSE, 2000 bytes for JME)</dt>
-<dd>Specifies the maximum resulting code length (expressed in bytes) allowed
- when inlining methods. Many Java virtual machines do not apply just-in-time
- compilation to methods that are too long, so it's important not to let them
- grow too large.</dd>
-
-<dt><code><b>optimize.conservatively</b></code> (default = unset)</dt>
-<dd>Allows input code with ordinary instructions intentionally throwing
- <code>NullPointerException</code>,
- <code>ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException</code>, or
- <code>ClassCastException</code>, without any other useful purposes. By
- default, ProGuard may just discard such seemingly useless instructions,
- resulting in better optimization of most common code.</dd>
