With -O1 on x86_64-linux it takes around 1m30s to compile with GCC 4.8 with the biggest offenders being alias stmt walking : 64.95 (70%) usr 0.15 (12%) sys 65.11 (69%) wall 0 kB ( 0%) ggc tree SSA incremental : 11.83 (13%) usr 0.18 (14%) sys 12.04 (13%) wall 47726 kB (12%) ggc tree copy propagation : 4.12 ( 4%) usr 0.00 ( 0%) sys 4.13 ( 4%) wall 515 kB ( 0%) ggc TOTAL : 92.99 1.29 94.23 383497 kB with GCC 4.9 this improves to alias stmt walking : 55.67 (66%) usr 0.26 (18%) sys 55.95 (65%) wall 0 kB ( 0%) ggc tree copy propagation : 4.90 ( 6%) usr 0.01 ( 1%) sys 4.94 ( 6%) wall 522 kB ( 0%) ggc tree SSA incremental : 10.89 (13%) usr 0.20 (14%) sys 11.02 (13%) wall 47751 kB (12%) ggc TOTAL : 83.95 1.45 85.55 390402 kB most time is spent in early local cleanups at -O1. With -O2 GCC 4.9 takes 95s.
