cautiously revised down to 3-5%. While we expect performance results to be better
than what we report, our estimates are more conservative due to a
`compiler bug <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/106846>`_ found in
- Clang/LLVM 19. We were unaware of this bug, and it artifically boosted
- our numbers, resulting in inaccurate results. We sincerely apologize for

communicating results that were only accurate for certain versions of LLVM 19
and 20. At the time of writing, this bug has not yet been fixed in LLVM 19-21. Thus
- any benchmarks with those versions of LLVM may produce artifically inflated numbers.
