There is a tool that tries to get the best results (faster code,
smaller executables, or whatever your criteria is) for any Mercury
program, called gator.  You will find it in mercury-extras, with
instructions on how to use it.  I imagine that it would take quite a
while working with the mercury compiler, given how large a code base
it is.
