Research direction

Start by checking git log bench/cases as the issue advises, then compare the listed commits and reproduce the Load/dict_ops instruction count before and after the change. Use the charts on the bench-data branch to investigate the increase. Done means identifying and addressing the cause of the more-than-3% drift, with the benchmark showing the improvement.
