Will you re-try optimizing it?
No.
It's important to understand that if we have a lot of cache misses after
the code object was executed 1000 times, it doesn't make sense to keep
trying to update that cache. It just means that the code, in that
particular point, works with different kinds of objects. FWIW, I
experimented with different ideas (one is to never de-optimize), and the
current strategy works best on the vast number of benchmarks.
