Thanks for data! I meant to run the benchmark myself, but had little time to do
it over past week becuase of traveling and was also wondering what to do given
that spec is rather poor benchmark in this area. Tramp3d is biassed but we are
in stage1 and can fine tune latter. I am debugging the libxul crashes in FDO
binary now, so we can re-run talos.

Setting param to 2 looks fine

I would actually preffer to have PARAM_EARLY_ININING_INSNS_FEEDBACK. We
already have TRACER_DYNAMIC_COVERAGE_FEEDBACK and other params. The reason is
that profile is not a global property of program. It may or may not be
available for given function, while params are global.
Even at compile time profile may be selectively missing for example for
COMDATs that did not win in the linking process.
There is also need to update the documentation.
Thanks for the work!
