--- Comment #4 from Filip Kastl <pheeck at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Huh. Then either a) We spend a lot of time in the jump table finding algorithm. That would mean that there are large switch statements in GCC code specific for those architectures. Btw, those switch statements would have to have the property that there are few bit test lowering opportunities (otherwise bit tests would basically split the switch into smaller chunks that jump table finding wouldn't have problem with). Or maybe bit test lowering is disabled entirely on those architectures? b) Jump table finding is too eager. Lowering parts of a switch statement as jump tables can lead to slower code on these architectures and in GCC this happens frequently enough to slow the compiler down significantly. Those are the two explanations that come to my mind.
