I think you should just drop this. 

You merged the two patches that made this possible, and the third in the 
series isn't really worth it. I can re-create it at will (maybe better) 
now that the core object allocations are all cleaned up, and that patch 
simply didn't give enough of an advantage to be worth it.

Maybe inlining the object index -> ptr conversion would have solved the 
performance regression, but it migth also be something more fundamental, 
like the potential extra cache miss in the converstion part (when looking 
up the allocation block).

So it was interesting to try, but I don't think it's worth carrying around 
considering the results.
