Description
In some preliminary benchmarking for a talk I'm finding that when using Direct with a small number of jumps (~6), we can actually now get a ~30% speedup using ConstantRateJumps. This needs more investigation, but it may be that in the case of a small number of jumps, where we don't need function wrappers and use recursion for type-stability, we can now do better than MassActionJumps.

Research direction
Start by tracing how Direct handles MassActionJumps and ConstantRateJumps, using the reported small-jump benchmark as the initial investigation. Determine the intended conversion option and validate that the selected representation produces the claimed performance improvement; the issue does not name specific files or tests.
