> When profiling CTW runs, I noticed we spend a lot of time dealing with deoptimization. We do this excessively, deoptimizing before compilation on every tier. This is excessive: Hotspot honors compilation requests on subsequent levels without the need for explicit deoptimization. Not doing deopt between tiers greatly improves CTW performance.
