Agreed.

But the question still stands: are there many current compilers who
benefit from register declarations, and if so, it is enough of an
improvement to make a difference?

On the computers I use, there's not that much difference even between
optimized and non-optimized Emacs builds (with GCC 3.X and 4.X).
