As a partial remedy I propose simplifying the implementation so that no new methods are added compared to the JDK 20 baseline. This patch maintains the microbenchmark speed-up from JDK-8301958 while reducing JIT compilations in startup/footprint benchmarks.

@JimLaskey @RogerRiggs thanks for the quick reviews! I'll wait for and double-check test results before pushing.
