SimplifyCFG (eg, FoldBranchToCommonDest()) transforms code based on a static
"BonusInstThreshold". This can waste time because this change in the CFG may
later be undone in CodeGenPrepare::splitBranchCondition() or
SelectionDAGBuilder::visitBr().

Without external information (target hook, profile data, or programmer hint) to
justify the transform, SimplifyCFG shouldn't be doing this:

$ cat predictable_branches.ll 
define void @x_or_y(i32 %x, i32 %y) #0 {
entry:
  %cmp = icmp slt i32 %x, 3
  br i1 %cmp, label %if.then, label %lhs.false

lhs.false:
  %cmp1 = icmp sgt i32 %y, 10
  br i1 %cmp1, label %if.then, label %end

if.then:  
  %call = call i32 (...) @foo() #2
  br label %end

end:  
  ret void
}

declare i32 @foo(...) #1

$ ./opt -simplifycfg predictable_branches.ll -S
define void @x_or_y(i32 %x, i32 %y) {
entry:
  %cmp = icmp slt i32 %x, 3
  %cmp1 = icmp sgt i32 %y, 10
  %or.cond = or i1 %cmp, %cmp1
  br i1 %or.cond, label %if.then, label %end

if.then:                              
  %call = call i32 (...) @foo()
  br label %end

end:  
  ret void
