I don't even remember the details of this. The above doesn't actually look like
a patch of mine, perhaps the patch that introduced the regression?

            Bug ID: 64193
           Summary: Decreased performance after r173250
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.9.2
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: tree-optimization
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: cederman at gaisler dot com
            Target: i686-build_pc-linux-gnu

preprocessed source

When comparing version 4.4.2 with version 4.9.2 I noticed a performance
decrease for the Whetstone benchmark. It seems to have been introduced with
r173250. Compiling Whetstone with the latest master (r217599) I get the
following numbers:

Without r173250:
Loops: 5000000, Iterations: 1, Duration: 54 sec.
C Converted Double Precision Whetstones: 9259.3 MIPS

With r173250:
Loops: 5000000, Iterations: 1, Duration: 58 sec.
C Converted Double Precision Whetstones: 8620.7 MIPS

The assembly output has also increased in size.

I have attached a preprocessed copy of the Whetstone benchmark and assembly
output for i686-build_pc-linux-gnu compiled with -O3, with and without r173250.

Let me know if you need any more information.
