commit af4bc31c50c873344a2426d4be842f92edf17019
Author: Simon Peyton Jones <simonpj at microsoft.com>

    Do not duplicate call information in SpecConstr (Trac #8852)
    
    This long-standing and egregious bug meant that call information was
    being gratuitously copied, leading to an exponential blowup in the
    number of calls to be examined when function definitions are deeply
    nested.  That is what has been causing the blowup in SpecConstr's
    running time, not (as I had previously supposed) generating very large code.
    
    See Note [spec_usg includes rhs_usg]

+Note [spec_usg includes rhs_usg]
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+In calls to 'specialise', the returned ScUsage must include the rhs_usg in
+the passed-in SpecInfo, unless there are no calls at all to the function.
+
+The caller can, indeed must, assume this.  He should not combine in rhs_usg
+himself, or he'll get rhs_usg twice -- and that can lead to an exponential
+blowup of duplicates in the CallEnv.  This is what gave rise to the massive
+performace loss in Trac #8852.

 Note [Specialise original body]
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 The RhsInfo for a binding keeps the *original* body of the binding.  We
