I've now done a few runs of nbench and the measurements I'm getting
are within noise. So I'd say no perf difference.
For SPEC I don't have time right now although I could do more runs
if you think they're needed.
I'm tempted for v2 to just remove these macrobenchmark numbers, since
with perf we can see that little time is spent on gtree anyway,
and at the moment I don't have time to do proper benchmarking.
Thanks,
