Analysis revealed it is related to the disabling of an optimisation around String comparison for Swift runtimes - this commit - apple/swift at ef974af <https://github.com/apple/swift/commit/ef974af339996f63c72d54ec7ef53b625e5a1a76>

Can you please provide a benchmark in a pull request that shows the performance degradation?
