Motivation
The DecompressAllTags method is overly complicated and the step to decompress from scratch is not a hot path. At most it should be hit once per block when processing a stream and never when processing a block.
Modifications
Move the logic to decompress from scratch to a separate method. Slightly optimize the short-circuit logic as well.
Results
JIT should be able to do a better job of enregistration and preventing register spillage. DecompressAllTags also gets a smaller stack size which may reduce cache misses.
We're seeing some minor gains decompressing from streams on .NET 6/7. The gains are within error margins so hard to confirm, they may be more significant on more constrained systems.
