Re: [DRLVM][GC] (HARMONY-2398) patch for GCv5 alloc helper inlining

[Rana Dasgupta]

I think that as Mikhail Fursov noted on this thread ( and maybe also earlier
), we are slower than RI because we don't use FS:14 to get TLS entry, but an
expensive system call. Moreover, even when it is invariant, we don't hoist
it out of loops( as in this test ). Another problem is that while the
allocation fastpath helper exists, it has not yet been inlined. The hope is
that when we make these changes, we will catch up. Let's see.

Nice - any thoughts on where to focus for improved performance?
