Ref. blog post, are you sure you are measuring equivalent entities?
Usually the AsciiOrder is a constant, preallocated array, no?

Seems to me, with the code posted in blog post, you're mostly measuring
array instantation, not collate...

var := ByteString new: 3.

 [ByteString compare: var with: var collated: (0 to: 255) asByteArray]
benchFor: 5 second.
a BenchmarkResult(500,460 iterations in 5 seconds 1 millisecond. 100,072 per
second)

AsciiCollate := (0 to: 255) asByteArray.

 [ByteString compare: var with: var collated: AsciiCollate] benchFor: 5
second.

a BenchmarkResult(79,507,782 iterations in 5 seconds 2 milliseconds.
15,895,198 per second)
