The decompressor uses Unsafe.copyMemory() for the tail of the data block,
so it shouldn't be called so frequently that it would affect performance
that much. Do you think the mere presence of those checks (and, thus, extra
code in the optimization window) may have some effect on the JIT's ability
to optimize the rest of the code?
