Comment (by tdammers):

 The problem is not just repetition, it's also very deep (>800 levels)
 nesting, which might explain why the register allocator gets swamped. This
 makes me suspect that factoring out `readField` would not really solve the
 issue, because we'd still be stuck with the deep nesting.
