You would? I wouldn't. It definitely looks like somewhat pathological case to me, at least in 2021. Maybe five years earlier the number would be appropriate, but there seems to be something wrong with Go slowing down this much at that small a heap. I'm wondering if it was tuned at all.

Because Golang was touted as a systems programming language (a better C).

Go is generally slower than Java and C#, many languages pretend C performance but this is just false advertising
