We have a collection of testcases with high number of basic blocks or with huge basic blocks; see for example PR28071. These are good candidates for your work. I would pay attention not only to making GCC faster, but also to making it use less memory. I'm not sure you can achieve asymptotic improvements in this case, though. Good luck! Paolo
