Let me put it another way. You don't believe me about the performance hit. My 
experience with people who don't believe me is they won't believe any benchmarks 
I produce, either. They'll say I didn't do the benchmark right, it is not 
representative, the data is cherry-picked, nobody would write code that way, etc.

I quit writing benchmarks for public consumption for that reason years ago.

It shouldn't be hard for you to put together a benchmark you can believe in.
