Reading the comments, lot of them are related to the fact that 
they switched in May 2019 from go 1.9 to rust _nightly_, while, 
for example Go 1.12 was released in Feb 2019.

They updated the notes saying that they tested 1.10 without 
noticing any improvements ... folks asks for comparison against 
1.13 at least ...

Well, knowing how much work was done in improving the GC 
performance in go in the latest releases, I think Timon is right!
