Maintaining compilation speed was a precondition set by the SC for the tree-ssa merge. If that condition was not met, then perhaps the merge should not have been performed. The fact that it was probably indicates that people weren't too worried about these compile-time effects.


There has been a couple of cases where compile time has actually speed up
a huge amount even with the new optimization so it was no a clear cut if
we should not merge or not.


I should note that the bootstrap time feels longer but I could be imagining
things.
