</span>We run DominatesMergePoint on every two entry phi node. Using a set of visited blocks would still be pretty expensive because, in the worst case, DominatesMergePoint might recurse back to the entry node if there are a lot of cheap BBs. I think it would make sense to have a depth limit to handle such pathological cases.<br>
