Thank you for including these results! In the cone-mode case, I'm happy to
see that the optimization effectively brings the cost of correcting
SKIP_WORKTREE down to 0. As for the unoptimized version (which, if I'm
reading this correctly, still approximates some worst-case non-cone cases),
I think correcting SKIP_WORKTREE is probably still worth the performance
cost - in the relatively massive test repo used in p2000, it's still only
~0.2-0.3s across the board.

I really like how this version of the optimization works, and ultimately
find it simpler than the hashmap approach from the RFC. Looks good!
