Thanks for the test on `Object.hashCode` and `Thread.currentThread` to confirm 
my guess.

For the `toString` test:
1. I don't think I will fix it as part of this PR; we will create a new issue 
for it once we confirm it.
2. To reproduce, I think first we will test with JDK 17 and 21. Core reflection 
reimplementation happened in JDK 18.
3. For reliable results, I suggest using the JMH tool 
https://github.com/openjdk/jmh; there is a gradle plugin for it 
https://github.com/melix/jmh-gradle-plugin and it has a gradle project example 
https://github.com/melix/jmh-gradle-plugin/tree/master/samples/simple-java/groovy-dsl,
 as your raw "setup" and system-time based checks have a lot of disturbance.

I am sorry, but OpenJDK infrastructure currently has some known issues; even we 
are automatically logged out. Thank you for coming to the github PR for 
comments, @moooonk!
