Depends a lot on the target, I suspect. On ARM at the moment
we spend huge amounts of time (30%+ of runtime) in a handful
of helpers like sub_cc because we haven't optimised the handling
of subtract and test to do things inline. (On my todo list but
performance in general is behind feature work. I have a half a
patchset that I haven't got back to yet.)

Which is kind of echoing your remarks about benchmarks, really.
