> The performance of the `MemorySegment::fil` can be improved by replacing the `checkAccess()` method call with calling `checkReadOnly()` instead (as the bounds of the segment itself do not need to be checked).
>
> Also, smaller segments can be handled directly by Java code rather than transitioning to native code.

> Operations involving 8 or more bytes are delegated to native code whereas smaller segments are handled via a switch rake.
>
> It should be noted that `Arena::allocate` is using `MemorySegment::fil`. Hence, this PR will also have a positive effect on memory allocation performance.
