I plotted a graph for daily commits in this year:

We can see a clear slowdown before and after 2022-05-09. As far as I checked each commit on the day, https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/85479b34f76d5b426c2a8224d8ed6d8c2ad81ca2 seems a trigger, but reverting this commit did not change the performance.

It's just a microbenchmark, but I think there may be room for improvement. @peterzhu2118 Could you check it out?
