It's possible for the recomputation of the type after deserialization to result in a different type than what we saw when serializing, because redeclarations of the same entity can use the same type with different sugar -- or even slightly different types in some cases, such as when an array bound is added in a redeclaration. The dumps of the types provided by @steven_wu confirms that we were just seeing a difference in type sugar in this case.

Thank you for poking at this Richard! However, I think we still need to revert the functionality in this area unless we're able to make headway on https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/59271 and quickly. FWIW, I ran into this exact problem yesterday on my dev machine, so the overhead is still a present concern. If that's something you plan to work on, then I think it'd make sense for Erich to hold off on starting the revert work to give you a chance to improve this. But if nobody is actively working on it, we need to start pulling this back because the branch date is a bit over a week away (Jan 24).
