Description

Following up on https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/59186 work.

Our benchmark suite takes a significant amount of time to conclude (85h for a full benchmark/compare). Most of the cases are because we are using an arbitrary n (number of iterations) in the benchmark, so it grows exponentially.

This issue is to keep tracking improvements from https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17iZuGR57r7ap4hFG8Tdz5Q-A7oV0cwM4MQW4q5bHA0U/edit?gid=2132828396#gid=2132828396
