Description
There's a whole unnecessary reparse and compilation up to bytecode as part of the deoptimizing recompilation pipeline in CompiledFunction.handleRewriteException:

        FunctionNode fn2 = effectiveOptInfo.reparse();
        fn2 = compiler.compile(fn2, CompilationPhases.COMPILE_UPTO_BYTECODE);

It's possibly a remnant of some debugging that slipped through unnoticed. This probably almost doubled the deoptimizing recompilation work.
