Profiling indicates that non-trivial time is spent assigning tags to spans, which is wasted effort if noop_tracer is being used.
Borrowing an optimisation from the JVM SDKs, where we skip this assignment in this case.
This optimisation, together with another small one that will be submitted separately, produced around a 15% performance improvement.
Downside: this does have to touch the public request_span API.
