Some text benchmarks appear to be slower in HEAD (vs 9.2.1) - partial register stall with x86 byte operations
# Reproduction 1. Checkout `text`: ```bash git clone https://github.com/Bodigrim/text cd text git checkout ff31f1451fb3ce56b82ceb7e7379647d6f70a90e git clone https://github.com/bos/text-test-data benchmarks/text-test-data cd benchmarks/text-test-data make cd ../.. ``` 2. Run `ascii-small` benchmarks with GHC 9.2.1 (it will take around five minutes): ```bash cabal bench -w ghc-9.2.1 --ghc-options '-fproc-alignment=64' --benchmark-options '--csv 9.2.csv --stdev 2 --timeout 100 --hide-successes -p ascii-small' ``` 3. Compare againt benchmarks with GHC HEAD (it will take around five minutes): ```bash cabal run -w /path/to/head --ghc-options="-fproc-alignment=64" --allow-newer -- -p '/ascii-small/' --baseline 9.2.csv --csv head.csv --fail-if-slower 20 --hide-successes ``` There are two regressions: ``` [nix-shell:~/t19661/text]$ cabal run -w /home/matt/ghc-clean/_build-perf/stage1/bin/ghc benchmarks --allow-newer -- -p '/ascii-small/' --baseline 9.2.csv --csv head.csv --fail-if-slower 50 --hide-successes Up to date All Pure ascii-small length filter Text: FAIL (0.25s) 210 μs ± 16 μs, 81% slower than baseline Use -p '/ascii-small/&&/length.filter.Text/' to rerun this test only. filter.filter Text: FAIL (0.23s) 206 μs ± 12 μs, 67% slower than baseline Use -p '/ascii-small/&&/length.filter.filter.Text/' to rerun this test only. ```
