The underlying problem is that list of ready to schedule instructions 
now became larger than it was before and the scheduler tends to slow 
down with the size of the list growing.  There already is a workaround 
for this problem (limiting ready list in case it is too large; see 
PARAM_MAX_SCHED_READY_INSNS) but it doesn't seem to do best in this case.
