Would tp.mapOver(this) also do the trick?

It might if core was reworked as a TypeMap, but I don't think that would be right here. In particular mapOver also transforms the prefix which I don't think we want to do.

Mapping over the prefix increases the compile time for the benchmark from 25s to 35s on my machine, so I'd say that's a definite no.

As reported here, #6530 causes a significant slowdown when performing implicit searches for large types: in the case of the "select from large hlist" benchmark it roughly doubles the compile time.
This PR claws almost all of that back by avoiding allocations when traversing through TypeRefs.
