> GOAMD64 could be significant, so I'm not sure why your comment seems to dismiss it? Because it's not just upgrading from 1.17 to 1.18, you actually need to set it. Also because I ran a bunch of our code's benchmark suites, including a rather large set of custom serdes, and saw no improvements. Even some of the synthetic benchmarks used to introduce the new optimizations are below 10%. Hopefully it'll grow in scope over the next few versions.
