Originally reported in Slack: https://webkit.slack.com/archives/CU5LWFM28/p1758140505177199 ~10× slower VideoFrame construction (copy/format-convert from large Uint8Array) in Safari Technology Preview vs. identical WebKit CI build; differences point at runtime memory allocation/mapping behavior (different libsystem_malloc paths: mach_vm_map/mach_vm_deallocate/madvise vs. free_large/szone_free) and extra zero-fills from Accelerate.

Because it's impossible to enable new secure allocator predictably on local build of WebKit I want to try specilatively disable multi threading when accelerate called. I suspend it might incur more overhead than performance will especially considering significantly higher total CPU usage.
