Though most likely deps/V8

What steps will reproduce the bug?

const { compileFunction } = require(`vm`);

const value = `a`.repeat(1024 * 1024 * 5);

console.time(`string`);
for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
	compileFunction(`"${value}"`, [], {});
}
console.timeEnd(`string`);

console.time(`template`);
for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
	compileFunction(`\`${value}\``, [], {});
}
console.timeEnd(`template`);

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

Always

What is the expected behavior?

The amount of time it takes to compile should ideally be the same.

What do you see instead?

Compiling the template literal is significantly slower

string: 19.088s
template: 26.216s
