> the reason is that after [JDK-8353565](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8353565) we are using Types::lub when joining jump chains in Code. The result of the lub will be erased anyways so the proposal here is to cut in the result given by lub types that will be erased anyways. The reason for the slow lub invocation here is that in order to obtain the lub in this case, the lub method is invoked several times. Each invocation, minus the first one, with very complex types which makes them very slooooow.
