It shows ~1% improvement in RAMification on my MBP.

It crashes with the softlinking initialization. I think it is unlikely that this patch is related to softlinking.

It shows great improvement in some tests, but it also shows significant memory increase in some tests (like, WSL, date-format-xparb etc.). Overall, RAMification gets 1% win, but increasing significant memory footprint in some tests is not good. If we can get the benefit without increasing memory usage in these tests, it is very nice.
I rollout this patch now, and I'm now investigating...

Not correct. I accidentally compared to n-hours older version, and during this, we have a patch with significant change. And it seems that this patch is not directly related to this significant memory bloat. Investigating.

After the measurement, it is found that this patch is unrelated to the recent regression in date-format-xparb and WSL. rolling in again.

Do we have a bug report tracking that (unrelated) regression?

No, we don't have that yet. It is good idea! I'll open the bug for that :D
