Hey Chandler,

It looks like this might have caused a small regression on:
  SingleSource/Benchmarks/Shootout-C++/hash2
that seems to have stuck around:

http://llvm.org/perf/db_default/v4/nts/graph?plot.0=7.41.2&highlight_run=6629

It's pretty small, but might be interesting if you feel like investigating.
