Benedict Elliott Smith commented on CASSANDRA-15215:
----------------------------------------------------

If we're improving the benchmark we might also want to consider increasing the 
morphism of the call sites, i.e. randomly supplying either a 
{{DirectByteBuffer}} or {{HeapByteBuffer}}, and maybe even a 
{{MappedByteBuffer}} to make it megamorphic; for the {{DataOutput}} variant to 
similarly pick two or three variants (preferably with three benchmarks, namely 
monomorphic (one type), bimorphic (two types), megamorphic (three types)).

> Most vints occupy significantly fewer than 8 bytes, and most buffers have >= 
> 8 bytes spare, in which case we can construct the relevant bytes in a 
> register and memcpy them to the correct position.  Since we read and write a 
> lot of vints, this waste is probably measurable, particularly during 
> compaction and flush, and can probably be considered a performance bug.
