@nikc Would you consider this amount of regression acceptable?

I think we need to look at compile-times too before we can draw that conclusion, i.e. we need to justify it's worth spending extra compile-time for optimising a few cases. Hopefully loop distribution is a cheap pass to run (also when it is running but not triggering), but that's something that needs to be checked I think.

Subject: RE: [llvm-dev] Enabling Loop Distribution Pass as default in the pipeline of new pass manager
For considering the LoopDistribute pass as a canonicalization with the profitability heuristic of LoopFuse pass, it looks the LoopFuse pass does not also have proper profitability function.
If possible, I would like to enable the LoopDistribute pass based on the performance data.
As you can see on the previous email, the Geomean difference from llvm-test-suite is -0.0%. From spec benchmarks, we can see 43% performance improvement on 456.hmmer of SPEC2006. Based on this data, I think we could say the pass is usually beneficial without causing major regression.
How do you think about it?
Thanks
