Calling JSObject::setHadElementsAccess in SetObjectElementOperation always forces a new shape. This commonly prevents us from attaching CacheIR addSlot stubs. The flag HAD_ELEMENTS_ACCESS however is only really considered for objects with more than 120 properties, so setting this flag really early is useless. I suggest we only try to set this flag when we have at least a few dozen elements, not with zero or one.
Summary: JSObject::setHadElementsAccess happens to early → JSObject::setHadElementsAccess happens too early
And we shouldn't do this for symbol properties, as object[symbol] is the only way to add symbol props so we can't assume it's a hashamp (and a hashmap with only symbol keys would be pretty weird). This flag is just a hack for sunspider unpack-code and the like.

Attached patch PatchSplinter Review
This uses MAX_HEIGHT_WITH_ELEMENTS_ACCESS / 3 (= 42). It fixes the regression in bug 1341067 comment 6. We can tweak this more later but this will avoid setting the flag in a lot of cases.

Set the hadElementsAccess flag less eagerly to avoid unnecessary Shape changes. r=evilpie

Jan, would you have expected this to help with Speedometer? (see bug 1339557 comment 3)

It helped Speedometer but I think most of that was fixing the regression from bug 1341067. This bug was mostly an issue for Baseline and after bug 1341067 it also affected Ion.

35% improvement is unlikely though, I'm not seeing that locally or on AWFY.
