Research direction

Start with src/benchmarks/micro/libraries/System.Text.RegularExpressions/Perf.Regex.Common.cs at the listed benchmark methods, then run the provided Mono interpreter command with the Perf_Regex_Common filter on Linux/arm64. Compare the result with the baseline and commit shown in the report; done means the regression is explained and the affected benchmarks return to the expected performance.
