I did more performance measurements of the byte-compiler with a
version where I disabled handling of symbol positions, and not noticed
a sensible speed up of byte-compilation.  So the slow down, compared
to 21.2.1 version, seems to be caused by another change.

I must admit that I don't see what actually causes a such performance
degradation.

Maybe someone else has an idea?

Hope it helps.

Sincerely,
David
