Research direction

Start with the System.Memory.Span.BinarySearch benchmark in performance/src/benchmarks/micro/libraries/System.Memory/Span.cs and compare the baseline and regression commits listed in the report. Follow the benchmarking workflow and run the provided Mono AOT LLVM command on Linux/arm64; done means the regression is reproduced and its cause or resolution is documented.
