Not sure what exactly you mean by "wrong cost calculation"?

The reason for the long duration with JIT seems pretty clear:

Functions: 237
Options: Inlining true, Optimization true, Expressions true, Deforming true
Timing: Generation 45.190 ms, Inlining 37.452 ms, Optimization 1292.680 ms, Emission 1076.752 ms, Total 2452.074 ms

That is, it took about 2.3s to optimize and emit the JIT code, most
likely because due to a fairly high number of functions. I'm not sure
that's something we can really fix, but there were discussions about
being smarter about optimizations etc.
