Write regression after release 0.8.3 #268
Description
Following #262, I executed the version regression benchmark suite. The current results show significant write performance regression after release 0.8.3.
I subsequently developed an automated bisection capability in the LmdbJava Benchmarks project. This identified the regression:

The regression emerged in commit 68f0a44, which modifies comparator logic. This represents a 40.76% write performance degradation from the previous commit.
Given @at055612 is undertaking significant comparator changes in #249 and #250, this regression is likely to be addressed in that work. The bisection tooling is now available to verify performance impact of changes.
