Would be cool to create a suite of extreme inputs, maybe a special llvm test-suite module. This module would contain scripts that produce extreme inputs (long basic blocks, deeply nested loops, utils/createladdergraph.py, etc.) In fact I have a python script here as well that generates a few variations of stuff that was interesting to scheduling algos. It would just take someone to setup a proper test-suite and a bot for it and I'd happily contribute more tests :)

Well, I find limited motivation to "optimise" the compiler for artifical code. Trying to identify real world code that triggers expensive behavior is a much more useful exercise, IMO.
