With the compiler.i testcase from the PR one can see bitmap_set_bit very high in the profile, originating from SSA update and alias stmt walking. For SSA update mark_block_for_update essentially performs redundant bitmap_set_bits and is called via insert_updated_phi_nodes_for as
EXECUTE_IF_SET_IN_BITMAP (pruned_idf, 0, i, bi) ... mark_block_for_update (bb); FOR_EACH_EDGE (e, ei, bb->preds) if (e->src->index >= 0) mark_block_for_update (e->src); which is quite random in the access pattern and runs into the O(n) case of the linked list bitmap representation. Switching blocks_to_update to tree view around insert_updated_phi_nodes_for improves SSA update time from tree SSA incremental : 4.26 ( 3%) to tree SSA incremental : 2.98 ( 2%) Likewise the visited bitmap allocated by the alias walker benefits from using the tree view in case of large CFGs and we see an improvement from alias stmt walking : 10.53 ( 9%) to alias stmt walking : 4.05 ( 4%) Bootstrap and regtest running on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.
