Speed `defaultCekParameters*` back up?
This:
defaultCekParametersA :: Typeable ann => MachineParameters CekMachineCosts DefaultFun (CekValue DefaultUni DefaultFun ann)
defaultCekParametersA =
noinline mkMachineParameters DefaultFunSemanticsVariantA cekCostModelVariantA
and other such defaultCekParameters* definitions are artificially slowed down with that noinline call, so that if we use them anywhere where performance matters, we can spot it right away. But we use this definition a lot in tests and so many our tests are artificially slowed down. This is perhaps a waste of resources. Should we remove the noinline call? But then there's no guarantee that we won't get the same slowdown accidentally, since performance of those definitions isn't checked anywhere. And it probably won't even work properly now, because inlining machine parameters for each semantics variant will produce dozens of thousands of lines of code and GHC may simply give up trying to optimize all of that.
Or should we "simply" use the production mkMachineParametersFor everywhere including tests? That would reliably give us proper performance. The issue is with the "simple" part as that would me a major overhaul of tests. At least we can do it incrementally I suppose.
