Do notice the "regression" is mostly within 1 cycle. Which I would not
call a regression, given the accuracy of these measurements.

The page-border cases 32,34,48,64 cannot be use to assess this.

We could look at the assembler code, to see if we can spot the extra
instruction that does not get optimized away.
