The test suite has a bunch of very basic C++ tests that are executed an 
enormous number of times. I've built one with the obvious performance 
degradation and attached the source, output and reports.

Here are some highlights:
     v4.1:    Total absolute time for int8_t constant folding: 30.42 sec
     v4.6:    Total absolute time for int8_t constant folding: 43.32 sec

Every one of the tests in this section had degraded... the first half 
more than the second. I am not sure how much further I can take this - 
the benchmarked code is very short and plain. I can post disassembly for 
one (some?) of them if anyone is willing to take a look...

Thanks,
Oleg.
