As it is being discussed in https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/59325,
at least for the instructions with tied variables,
when trying to parallelize the instructions,
register selection is rather bad, and may either
use a register which we have used for def,
or vice versa.
That introduces serialization, and leads to
overly pessimistic inverse throughput measurement.
The new implementation avoids that,
New result:
