Many micro-optimizations get committed without proving themselves on a
high-level benchmark suite, as long as they produce a big enough
difference on micro-benchmarks. I think you have noticed that!

A 4x improvement on a micro-benchmark is very likely to make a
difference in at least some real-world code (while a 10% improvement
wouldn't).
