Description
When going through https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/main/doc/contributing/primordials.md the doc says the use of primordials can cause performance regressions with V8 , is there any explaination/investigation on why this happens and is this something that can be fixed/optimised since primordials are used almost everywhere could this lead to improvements overall? just opening this for discussion and my understanding!

Research direction
Start with doc/contributing/primordials.md in the linked Node.js repository and review the statement about V8 performance regressions. Investigate why primordials may regress performance and whether an optimization is feasible. Done would mean a documented explanation or a clearly scoped, evidence-based optimization proposal.
