> Good point, thank you! As you said, that is not the problem specific for this patch exclusively. One can fix it by hacky cost comparing at the buildind tree stage, but I do believe the more general solution is preferable. Does this patch https://reviews.llvm.org/D57779 (vectorization throttling) fixes this? After greedy strategy of building the maximum tree we choose the cheapest part of it for vectorization.

No, I think https://reviews.llvm.org/D57779 is about a different thing. Here, we have new functionality which allows us to built the tree with gather-loads otherwise we just ignore it and thus have a different tree. I am not sure how to handle the case if it is accumulating those expensive operations. Maybe guard this new functionality by a flag for now?
