Thanks for the additional context.
I totally agree that there's zero burden here to show a performance
increase. If anyone can think of a quick way to do _some_ kind of
benchmark on the code being changed and just show that it's free of
brown paper bags, it would be appreciated. Nothing crazy, just think of
one workload (synthetic or not) that will stress the paths being changed
and run it with and without these changes. Make sure there are not
surprises.
I also agree that it's unlikely to be brown paper bag material.
