I think we canonically use our own find helper here to avoid the this penalty; might be important if this is hot code.

I have literally copied this bit from getDeclaredTypeOfTypeAlias :P
https://github.dev/microsoft/TypeScript/blob/cf8763b6c3193deefd095c86ce79921f23de307b/src/compiler/checker.ts#L12436

Should I switch both call sites to ur custom find?

Hah, then nevermind.

to avoid the this penalty

The original reason was that find wasn't defined in old runtimes. What is the this penalty? Maybe that's a good replacement reason.

IIRC functions passed to find and other helpers like it are bound such that this in them points to the array.

Shouldn't this be a change in the logic of getSymbolIfSameReference instead? To make a type alias that points directly at another type count as a "same reference" of that type? It's been reused in one or two other places, but it basically only exists to answer "should we consider these two symbols as ultimately referring to the same thing", and mostly just for the usages here, in this function. In particular, only doing this check here means 1. the fastpath lookup will fail for type aliases that pass this check, so they always hit the slow path and 2. an export ='d type alias will never be considered equal to the target symbol.

Maybe extract this into another helper function? Seems a bit repetitive.

This checks both s1 and s2 and I don't have any good name for a helper function that would accept both as arguments or other ideas on how to improve this. Everything I have tried locally felt clunky to me.

I've sent a revert for this in #57849; this PR caused two bugs and a perf regression, so I think it's safest to back it out as it was just to fix a bug that has existed seemingly forever.
