Nevermind, I tried 10000000 stack unwindings several times and ran netperf too. Both on the same virtual machine. On these microbenchmarks, the former performs ~ 1.03 times better, the latter ~ 1.3 times. When Mel measured the difference, it was around 10 % overall using more sophisticated benchmarks.
