Research direction

Start with the reported baseline and compare commits, then inspect the benchmark source at src/benchmarks/micro/libraries/System.Text.Json/Utf8JsonReader/Perf.Reader.cs, especially the cited ReadSpan and ReadSequence methods. Re-run the affected System.Text.Json.Tests.Perf_Reader benchmarks under the ARM64 Ubuntu Mono interpreter configuration and determine whether the regressions reproduce; done requires documenting the cause and resolution.
