> How does this relate to bug 79040? What is the plan you're pursuing for restoring timeout checking?

We discussed this topic with Filip Pizlo before. We should either support timeout checking everywhere or remove the feature completly (for consistency). We decided to keep the feature that time.

> Is this just a subset of the patch in bug 79040? We can't evaluate that patch until you post performance numbers for it.

Yes, this is the first part. We free the timeout register first so DFG-JIT could use it. Sorry for the missing performance numbers. Gabor, could you copy them here?
