            Bug ID: 51857
           Summary: Interpreter project is up to 15% slower with clang 13
           Product: libraries
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: Scalar Optimizations

I maintain a relatively simple interpreter project (single main function with
big switch statement).
I tested clang 13 RC and it gives 0-15% slowdown depending on the workload. In
none of the cases the clang 13 is faster than clang 12.

I tried to look at generated assembly and LLVM IR but I cannot stop anything
interesting there. Maybe just that clang 13 produces smaller code probably due
to better register allocation / spilling.

Also perf tool does not show anything specific.

I'm happy to provide additional data if you can tell we where to start and what
would be useful.

I also started bisecting LLVM from 12.x to 13.x. So far I have found single
commit that decreases performance by ~6%:
