Setting a larger stack chunk size gives a greater protection
from stack thrashing (where the repeated overflow/underflow allocates a lot of
stack chunks which sigificantly impact allocations). This
stabilises some tests against differences cause by more things being
pushed onto the stack.
The performance tests are generally testing work done by the compiler,
using allocation as a proxy, so removing/stabilising the allocations due
to the stack gives us more stable tests which are also more sensitive
to actual changes in compiler performance.
The tests which increase are ones where we compile a lot of modules, and
for each module we spawn a thread to compile the module in. Therefore
increasing these numbers has a multiplying effect on these tests because
there are many more stacks which we can increase in size.
The most significant improvements though are cases such as T8095 which
reduce significantly in allocations (30%). This isn't a performance
improvement really but just helps stabilise the test against this
threshold set by the defaults.
