----------------
There is a subtle bug in my reasoning that is caught by adding the assert as suggested by Philip. The invariant is maintained at the beginning of the first iteration. In the first iteration, if analyzeBlock returned true (Cost <= Threshold), Cost could still end up > Threshold when SingleBBBonus is subtracted, violating the invariant in the second iteration. What I have done now is to add a if (Cost > Threshold) return false immediately after the SingleBBBonus is subtracted. I think this is a bit more readable since the check is present immediately after the bonus is subtracted.
