Today helpers are inlined only by SD2_OPT JIT. We can add helpers inlining to SD1_OPT too, but helpers classes are initialized only from VMStart class - so there will be ~1k methods compiled by SD1_OPT without helpers inlined and we will have a problem to differentiate them.
Probably we can introduce some annotations to guide the compiler for branch scheduling (and probably for some other scenarios as well, such as dead object for GC). Of course that will not be prioritized until some evidence shows the importance. Thanks, xiaofeng
