Part of it is LLVM, part of it is Unladen Swallow. LLVM is very flexible, and there's a price for that. We have also found and fixed several cases of quadratic memory usage in LLVM optimization passes, and there may be more of those lurking around. On the Unladen Swallow side, there are doubtless things we can do to improve our usage of LLVM; http://code.google.com/p/unladen-swallow/issues/detail?id=68 has most of our work on this, and there are still more ideas to implement. Part of the issue is that Unladen Swallow is using LLVM's JIT infrastructure in ways that it really hasn't been used before, and so there's a fair amount of low-hanging fruit left in LLVM that no-one has needed to pick yet.
