Description
When looking at SnoopCompile timings for Zygote ([e.g.](https://github.com/FluxML/Zygote.jl/issues/1119#issuecomment-1006171909)), IRTools comes up as a big inference block. AIUI this is because Zygote itself can't precompile any methods in IRTools because it does not own them, and hence nothing precompiles reliably all the way up the chain.
https://github.com/FluxML/IRTools.jl/issues/64 may be related.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the SnoopCompile timings for Zygote linked in the issue and the related IRTools issue #64. Investigate how IRTools methods are currently precompiled and whether ownership prevents reliable precompilation. Done means documenting a concrete, agreed approach or showing why precompilation cannot be improved.
