Research direction

Start by reading Rust issue #83150 and PR #83406 to understand the overflow hang or slowdown and the prior fix. Then inspect rustc-perf’s existing performance-test entry points to determine where the regression test belongs. Done means the overflow case reports a measurable regression instead of silently passing.
