Comment (by niteria):

 I have a version that performs as well as the old code on T5030:

 {{{
 piResultTys :: Type -> [Type] -> Type
 piResultTys ty args = go_fast ty args
   where
     go_fast ty [] = ty
     go_fast (ForAllTy (Anon _) res) (_:args') = go_fast res args'
     go_fast ty args =
       go (mkEmptyTCvSubst $ mkInScopeSet $ tyCoVarsOfTypes (ty:args)) ty
 args
       -- The free vars of 'ty' and 'args' need to be in scope to satisfy
 the
       -- invariant in Note [The substitution invariant] in TyCoRep.

     go subst ty [] = substTy subst ty
     go subst ty args | Just ty' <- coreView ty = go subst ty' args
     go subst (ForAllTy bndr res) (arg:args')
       = case bndr of
           Anon _     -> go subst                         res args'
           Named tv _ -> go (extendTCvSubst subst tv arg) res args'
     go subst (TyVarTy tv) args
         -- Deals with piResultTys (forall a. a) [forall b.b, Int]
       = go subst (substTyVar subst tv) args
         -- The previous version used empty_subst here,
         -- I'm not sure if it matters for correctness
     go _subst _ty _args = panic "piResultTys"
 }}}
