This attempts to reland https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/126848

This was reverted because it made some unexpected changes to our perf measurements. After landing https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/127900, we have much less noise in our benchmarks, so I'd like to reland this and see if there is still a significant measurement difference.

Reverts flutter/flutter#126848

Triggered some kind of measuring discrepancy / performance regression.
