fwiw I was also able to reproduce similar results, with the hashing
costing (unsurprisingly) around an extra ~10% with the new barrier, not
much we can do about that. In any case these are pretty low level
measurements so shouldn't impact too much. Additionally, any user that
cares about performance will try to avoid incurring futex calls into
kernel space.
