+I'm not convinced the changes are real here, but they're certainly not
+significant enough to investigate deeply for an LLVM upgrade.

+In general regressions across the board aren't great, but this is headed
+towards introduction of new functionality, so perhaps required. Some profiling
+of the PR may yield interesting results given how wide spread the regression is
+for some micro-opt work.

+Looks like it's only a real regression for the secondary externs scenario, and
+even there only significant in incr-unchanged. I'm not worried enough to merit
+further poking, especially as it seems plausible this is a natural (if slight)
+regression from tracking at finer granularity.

+Regression caused by
+[#145233](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/145233#issuecomment-3191062342),
+based on granular perf run, but there's some suspicion that it might still be
+just noise. Further investigation seems unwarranted at this time.

+The match-stress regression seems real, but probably not important to look into
+given the context of this PR. Other regressions look like noise.
