Constraint Solver (`FSharp.Compiler.ConstraintSolver`)** + - **Function**: `SolveTypAsError`, `CanonicalizeConstraints`, `SolveTypeEqualsType` + - **Time**: ~40-50% of type checking time + - **Cause**: For each Assert.Equal call, the constraint solver must: + - Evaluate type constraints for all 20+ overloads of Assert.Equal + - Unify inferred types with overload signatures + - Resolve generic type parameters + +**2. Method Call Resolution (`FSharp.Compiler.MethodCalls`)** + - **Function**: `ResolveOverloading`, `GetMemberOverloadInfo` + - **Time**: ~25-35% of type checking time + - **Cause**: Iterates through all Assert.Equal overloads to find compatible matches + +**3. Type Checker (`FSharp.Compiler.TypeChecker`)** + - **Function**: `TcMethodApplicationThen`, `TcStaticConstantParameter` + - **Time**: ~15-20% of type checking time + - **Cause**: Type checks each candidate overload signature + +**4. Inference (`FSharp.Compiler.NameResolution` + `TypeRelations`)** + - **Function**: `Item1Of2`, Type comparison operations + - **Time**: ~10-15% of type checking time + - **Cause**: Comparing inferred types against overload constraints + +### Key Observation + +The performance difference observed (13% slowdown) is **significantly less** than the issue #18807 originally reported (~100ms per Assert.Equal, or 30x+ slowdown for larger test suites).
