Compilation time regression in 1.11

[charleskawczynski]

I've boiled down a reproducer below, I can try to simplify it more, but this is as far as I've gotten.

julia 1.10

dot: 0.311097 seconds (2.51 M allocations: 157.250 MiB, 10.19% gc time, 99.98% compilation time)

julia 1.11

dot: 0.978774 seconds (13.59 M allocations: 612.654 MiB, 19.87% gc time, 99.99% compilation time)

I noticed even worse regressions (in the order of 50x) in compiling some functions in JET. x-ref aviatesk/JET.jl#649

[lgoettgens]

As shown in more detail in aviatesk/JET.jl#649 (comment), the compile time regression does not seem to have been fixed at all by 1.11.1.

[MilesCranmer]

Seeing this on SymbolicRegression.jl too. The latency is so large I had to switch back to 1.10 for development.

[KristofferC]

Please open a new issue with a reproducer there to keep things separate and actionable.

Is anyone working on this? The new circular dependency warnings in 1.10 are a bit annoying, but this slowdown is not great either.
