Interesting. Could you share the performance numbers, and try to figure out
which specific sanitizer
is causing a problem (i.e. try to compare just -fsanitize=address, and then
various flavors of -fsanitize=undefined
one by one: -fsanitize=shift, -fsanitize=null etc.). We are not aware of
known performance degradation under
sanitizers in 3.6 release.
