+  \frametitle{Why do tracing JITs work?}
+  \begin{itemize}
+      \item They are good at selecting interesting and common code paths
+      \item both through user program and through the runtime
+      \item the latter is particularly important for dynamic languages
+          \pause
+      \item traces are trivial to optimize
+  \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}
+  \frametitle{Optimizing traces}
+  \begin{itemize}
+      \item Traces trivial to optimize, because there's no control flow
+      \item most optimizations are one forward pass
+      \item optimizers are often like symbolic executors
+      \item can do optimizations that are untractable with full control flow
+      \item XXX example
+  \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}
+  \frametitle{Problems with this approach}
+  \begin{itemize}
+      \item most traces actually are loops
+      \item naive foward passes ignore this bit of control flow optimization available
+      \item how to fix that without sacrifing simplicity?
+  \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}
+  \frametitle{Idea for solution}
+  \begin{itemize}
+      \item idea first proposed and implemented in LuaJIT by Mike Pall
+      \item this talk presents the implementation of the same approach in RPython's tracing JIT
+  \end{itemize}
+  \pause
+  \begin{block}{Approach}
+      \begin{itemize}
+          \item do a pre-processing step on the traces
+          \item apply the unchanged forward-pass optimizations
+          \item do some post-processing
+          \item pre-processing is done in such a way that the normal optimizations become loop-aware
+          \item intuition: give the optimizations a second iteration of context to work with
+      \end{itemize}
+  \end{block}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}
+  \frametitle{Pre-processing the loops}
+  \begin{itemize}
+      \item pre-processing does loop unrolling
+      \item peels off one iteration of the loop, duplicating the trace
+      \item the optimizations optimize both iterations together
+      \item this yields loop-invariant code motion and related optimizations
+  \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
