I ran the test function, but using 256kB and 3MB for the reset
frequency, and with 8,16,24,32 byte sizes (patched against a commit
after the recent hot/cold path separation). Images attached. I also
get a decent speedup with the bump context, but not quite as dramatic
as on your machine. It's worth noting that slab is the slowest for me.
This is an Intel i7-10750H.
