[ shrug... ] Maybe, but it's still not clear if it's a bug, or an
intentional change, or just a cost estimate that was on the hairy
edge before and your luck ran out.

If you could provide a self-contained test case that performs 10x worse
under v15 than v12, we'd surely take a look at it. But with the
information you've given so far, little is possible beyond speculation.
