In short, compilers probably don't have enough info to beat a skilled assembly programmer. Isn't that what LLVM tries to solve dynamically?

No. And in fact, even writing directly in LLVM IR, there are certain kinds of code (high-speed interpreters like LuaJIT) that cannot even be expressed. LLVM is awesome, but it's a language (LLVM IR) that does not support the full range of what can be computed efficiently with a particular CPU.
