With the patch, the timing when compiling with '-Ofast -fwhole-program' is between 1.40 to 1.45s before r208590 and above 3s after it. The later timing is unaffected by the addition of -fipa-pta. I did not test the effect of -fipa-pta before r208590 and I have no access to the machine before this evening.
