Why is that? I think it's clear since I'm eliminating malloc calls.
(though one may claim that malloc calls are so cheap it's not even
measurable)

(1) it's not really malloc since it's being garbage collected when out of scope

(2) given that there is a lot of allocation anyway and anything allocated as ephemerally as this use case is very common and very highly optimized, it's not really worth it
