This regression was also reported in v2, and I explicitly mention it
in the cover letter here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20231116022411.2250072-1-yosryahmed@xxxxxxxxxx/

In a nutshell, I think this microbenchmark regression does not
represent real workloads. On the other hand, there are demonstrated
benefits on real workloads from this series in terms of stats reading
time.
