Hm, this is odd: I just ran your benchmark on src/xdisp.c (starting
Emacs with -Q, both configured with CFLAGS='-Og -g3') and got vastly
different timings than you did:

master:   21.785817861557007
emacs-27: 61.3885281085968

This is with:

GNU Emacs 28.0.50 (build 42, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.17,
cairo version 1.17.3) of 2020-11-21
emacs-repository-version: "0a8cd0116204354e95fbb4ebde64c58123502aa2"

and

GNU Emacs 27.1.50 (build 18, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.17)
of 2020-11-21
emacs-repository-version: "3ceee398192e312faa3ea073365c49bcce9ef61b"
