Benchmarks show that this significantly reduces gas usage (around 47%) for non-trivial contracts (e.g. uniswap). We have a larger binary as a result (678K -> 865K on my machine), but I think it is worthwhile.

This is unrelated to the opt-level change, but seems to make CI run better (prevents some kind of race causing a file to be deleted which is still needed by other tests).

Hmm, that's interesting.
I suspect that, unfortunately, this will not solve the problem. Two or more concurrent "test" jobs can possibly produce the same issue.
Let me explain: each job is launched on random free runner (1 of 16), so each of them have it's own isolated workdir. Except only moment - they still share target/release and target/debug directories (you can see that I made them as symlinks), and this directories are shared for all runs and all jobs (even concurrent). I did a little research before doing it, it was stated that cargo target dir is OK for concurrent builds, but after seeing this - I doubt a lot. I mean, it's impossible to explain those races another way (because those are only files that are shared/concurrently used). I should probably redesign this part...
Do you know which particular file was under race? If it's under target/release or target/debug - it's definitely my fault here :)

Thats a huge improvement, but I think we should have a discussion about which path we should go if contract bloat is better to reduce cost of gas, which I do agree, is far better. We should also have quite a large reduction when we have the native precomps too.
