@ko1 (Koichi Sasada) it took some time to find this, and it's late, so issue is brief. Feel free to discuss with me if you need more information.

More info about this ticket:

This benchmark is on falcon application, many Fiber creation benchmark.
The table shows commit hash and the results (Requests per seconds).
In brief, there is a regression between master and ruby 2.6.3.
Samuel found it and run it with bisect. This table is the result.

https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/88449100bc6d23a00dbf3addb97665f4f606f2b8 is a patch to enable lazy sweep.
Before this commit, lazy sweep is disabled accidentally (my fault).

Conclusion: I decide to ignore it.

Maybe this problem is lazy sweep + big memory object.
Bulk freeing is faster than incremental freeing for such big memory objects.
With small objects, lazy sweep is not so slow or faster.

So maybe it is rare case so I decide to ignore it, at this time.
Maybe we need to care about big memory objects, in a future.
