For your processor it sounds like you should make a constant more

I agree that costs are unfortunately not very well documented and the
middle-end does not use them in the most effective manner. It's still
normally the right mechanism to use to control what combine does.
Thanks for the help.
Is there any bug open or anyone working to improve handling of costs?
