Comment (by rwbarton):

 The `fannkuch-redux` test is one that can be sensitive to mysterious code
 alignment effects; see #8279. However the reduction in allocations is so
 striking that it's worth checking whether something else could have gone
 wrong here.

 I'm pretty familiar with `fannkuch-redux`, so I'd be happy to investigate
 that one as well.
