>> In multi-array allocations benchmarks, there is a hot path through the native VM allocation code, which calls lots of notification methods, even when we would return immediately, because the allocation was satisfied from existing TLAB. Not calling these helper methods from `MemAllocator::Allocation` constructor/destructor looks like an incremental win for the benchmarks.
