Please answer these questions before submitting your issue. Thanks!

What version of Go are you using (go version)?

1.7, 1.8 and tip

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?

amd64

What did you do?

Ran https://play.golang.org/p/jAE_x1PZb_

What did you expect to see?

Same performance as 1.7.x

What did you see instead?

2.5x slowdown, note that the performance hit doesn't exist on tip so that's good at least.

Result:

Go 1.7

Looks like it's fixed in tip, so we can close this bug.

This doesn't meet the strict requirements for minor release backport, so Go 1.8 will have to remain as it is.
