I noticed this during profiling of tablegen (PR28222) that we were calling Child->getType(0) which creates a ValueTypeByHwMode on the fly from the requested internal TypeSetByHwMode type and returns it by value, we then treat it as a TypeSetByHwMode reference which involves constructing a new TypeSetByHwMode on the stack with a large amount of std::map iterating/copying all along the way.
I am not an expert on tablegen so please check my working, but AFAICT this is all unnecessary and we should be calling Child->getExtType(0) which returns the original TypeSetByHwMode by reference.
This gives me a 90sec reduction in msvc debug builds of x86 -gen-dag-isel.
