Only the limited number of global variable slots. Some games have plenty to spare; others have so many globals that they have to spill out into arrays.
If a game isn’t using all the available globals, any constant that’s used more than twice could safely be moved into a global to save space, I think. Besides saving a byte in the operand itself, that would also allow some 2OP instructions to be assembled in long form instead of variable form, saving another byte per instruction.

Using GLOBALs instead of CONSTANTs will save an additional byte per PRINT. Is there any downside to this?
One way to save text space, without relying on the abbreviation algorithm, is to move strings that are printed more than once into constants, changing PRINTI instructions into PRINTs:

This would be easy to do automatically - it's mostly just a matter of finding the right place in the build process to do it.
