[LLVMdev] major dragonegg improvement

[Andrew Trick]

Try -mllvm -disable-unroll-scev if you're curious.

There can be some luck involved. If you have the bitcode for the important function, I may be able to convert it into a test case to avoid regressing. I usually grab the unoptimized bitcode as follows: -emit-llvm -mllvm -disable-llvm-optzns -o module.bc
