Definitely agree it's not a regression, but I think I would quibble a bit with the idea that taking ~1h6min to compile something that normally takes ~3min is not a bug in some sense. :slightly_smiling_face:

But ok, philosophical debates aside: Would it be reasonable to at least consider it a [critical performance issue for the purposes of a bug fix release](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/llvm/docs/HowToReleaseLLVM.rst#release-patch-rules)? I acknowledge that there'd still need to be an assessment as to whether the patch is safe, but it *seems* like it should at least fit one of the criteria on its face. In regards to safety, perhaps confidence in the patch would increase in the time between 19.1.0-final and the subsequent bug fix releases?
