This is a very specific example which allows to explain rather simple the slowness of 2.x: The reason is a decision geared by maintainability and portability: 2.x uses a so-called graph colouring register allocator while 1.x used a pretty simple register allocator specifically tailored for i386.
Shouldn't we make the register allocator configurable, so that e.g. non-release builds can become faster, and several replacements can be tested easily?
The same for other parts of the compiler, where the time-per-task is the first information required to detect real bottlenecks, and to check alternative solutions.
