Validate the benchmark source hash before running the measurements.
Line 31 records the hash but does not enforce it. A modified source can retain the expected checksums while removing arguments construction work. The report would then not support the unchanged-workload claim.

Summary
Each call using
argumentsrepeatedly appended keys and installed redundant indexed descriptors, generating shape and GC bookkeeping. Construct the ordinary object in bulk and reuse immutable key layouts. The unchanged #10063 workload is 3.3–5.6x faster at 100–100,000 calls on this Windows host; the million-call process completes in 40–42 seconds, while the baseline times out at 60 seconds in every round.Changes

Test plan
cargo build --release --locked -p perry -p perry-runtime-static -p perry-stdlib-staticcargo test --release --locked --lib -p perry-runtime arguments -- --test-threads=1: 10 passed, including all four new tests.language/arguments-object: 246/261 passed before and after; all 15 failure paths, buckets, and reasons match exactly.Validation limits:

It expects allocator trimming to be unsupported, while the existing mimalloc path reportsexecuted; it also fails in isolation.PYTHONUTF8=1andPERRY_RS4GC=0for both builds because the default native statepoint backend rejects Windows exception-handling code. Benchmark timings use the default native backend. New Rust tests assert actual evacuation separately.scripts/pre-tag-check.sh --quickfinishes with two failures:cargo fmt --allexceeds Windows' command-length limit (scoped runtime formatting passes), and public benchmark evidence is stale (also observed before the fix). The other quick checks pass. The wider affected-crate CI matrix has not been run locally.Output
Same-host medians of three process medians, milliseconds per workload run. Baseline:
603b074ace01464bc66fc07cc8d532f26ccf5a0f; both Perry builds are 0.5.1532, release optimization level 3, thin LTO, one codegen unit. Windows x86_64 / Ryzen 5 7640HS / LLVM 22.1.8 / Rust nightly 2026-08-20. No builds or test suites ran during timing.The million-call processes finish in 40.109, 40.984, and 42.046 seconds, including warmup and all seven samples. Perry still has considerable overhead relative to Node. These results measure this Windows host, rather than reproducing the issue's absolute macOS timings. Baseline PC sampling identified shape, GC, and descriptor bookkeeping as the construction hot path; details and artifact/source hashes are in the benchmark directory.
