    runtime: speed up stack copying · aafd9640
    Josh Bleecher Snyder authored
    I was surprised to see readvarint show up in a cpu profile.
    
    Use a few simple optimizations to speed up stack copying:
    
    * Avoid making a copy of the cache.entries array or any of its elements.
    * Use a shift instead of a signed division in stackmapdata.
    * Change readvarint to return the number of bytes consumed
      rather than an updated slice.
    * Make some minor optimizations to readvarint to help the compiler.
    * Avoid called readvarint when the value fits in a single byte.
    
    The first and last optimizations are the most significant,
    although they all contribute a little.
    
    Add a benchmark for stack copying that includes lots of different
    functions in a recursive loop, to bust the cache.
    
    This might speed up other runtime operations as well;
    I only benchmarked stack copying.
