Vladimir, unfortunately I cannot send the benchmarks as they are private 
customer code. However, I will investigate the degradation and try to 
find a case which I can reduce and post on the list.

The port is for an internal Broadcom chip, SIMD/VLIW sharing some 
similarities and technical issues from a compiler point of view as IA-64.

I will submit a patch to gcc-patches.
