llvm dev - Feb 2011 - [LLVMdev] LLVM JIT Compilation Time vs Execution Time

Do any of you have an idea as to what the Compilation Time vs Execution Time
looks like in LLVM JIT with most aggressive optimizations on. Is adaptive
compilation going to bring any benefits to the LLVM JIT ?

Last I checked, JIT compilation was very expensive, and the majority
of that time went into codegen, ie instruction selection, register
allocation, and other kinds of lowering.  For our uses, the overhead
of the target-independent optimizations was negligible compared to the
codegen time.  However, using fast isel and fast regalloc slowed the
generated code down too much for it to be worth generating code in the
first place.  Your mileage may vary, though, and I would encourage you
to do a fresh analysis.
