Unexpected Performance Difference between / and \

I noticed significant speed differences for left (\) and right(/) matrix division for 4 by 4 and bigger matrices. To my understanding, / is just mapped to \ and thus, I wouldn't expect these differences especially not / being faster than \. Does anyone know why this is happening?

julia> using StaticArrays, BenchmarkTools

julia> @benchmark a \ b setup = begin
                  a = rand(SMatrix{4, 4})
                  b = rand(SMatrix{4, 4})
              end

Start with the benchmark examples in issue #585, comparing left () and right (/) division for StaticArrays SMatrix values of size 4×4 and larger. Reproduce both timings with Julia, StaticArrays, and BenchmarkTools, then inspect the division paths to determine why their performance differs. Done means the cause is identified and a focused fix or documented explanation is supported by benchmark results.
