Thanks, i will do that
how can i attach a LLVM IR source file  to  a bug report?

Hello, 

I made two flattening transformation filters, one use a switch instruction for the dispatcher, and the other an indirectbranch instruction. Both work well but llc is very time consuming in the second case : 10 minutes for a 500 basic block function, while it takes 10 seconds for the switchcase implementation . The instrumentation of llc shows that most of the time is passed in the Machine Block Frequency Analysis pass 


I don't understand why there is so huge difference. Is there a way to speed up llc ? 


That’s a bug. Can you try with trunk and provide the LLVM IR test case? You can file a PR it at llvm.org/bugs . 


There’s been some work on the block frequency algorithm recently, which is shared between LLVM IR and Machine IR, so it would be interesting to get that test case.
