In this blog post

https://tdodge.consulting/blog/living-the-emacs-garbage-collection-dream

the author asserts that a one-line patch "reduces the total wall clock
duration for sweep conses execution by approximately 50%", at least in
one benchmark.  There are some caveats; read the blog post for the
full story.

The patch can be found here:

https://github.com/tyler-dodge/emacs/commit/36d2a8d5a4f741ae99540e139fff2621bbacfbaa

Is this a change we could/should realistically make in Emacs?
