Statistics aren't magic and it's not going to find superoptimizing cases like this by using them. I think this is only helpful when you get a lot of incoming poorly written/dynamic code needing a lot of inlining, that maybe just got generated in the first place. So basically serving ads on websites.

In ffmpeg's case you can just always be the correct thing.
