I agree that we can do more optimizations with constants as JDK-8282365 suggested. But I think we should proceed with current changes as they are after fixing remaining issues. I assume that you are talking about case when `divisor` is constant (or both). Because if it is not, IR optimization will not help - we don't profile arithmetic values so we can't generate uncommon trap path without some profiling information. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/7572
