That seems somewhat steep. Can you see how much of the scheduling  
slow down there is?

The better way is to add a custom report for this. See  
TEST.llc.Makefile and TEST.llc.report under llvm-test as an example.  
You can do make TEST=llc to generate custom reports. If this change  
can somehow be optionally controlled, then you can set it as llcbeta  
option and write a custom report that compare the time spend in some  
particular passes (TEST.beta-compare is an example, but it comparesf  
number instructions).

The biggest problem is right now time spent in scheduling is lumped  
into "DAG->DAG Instruction Selection" time because it's part of the  
pass. It would be nice if we can somehow bring it out.
