The performance tests were too strict for CI environments where timing
can be more variable due to noisy neighbors, slower hardware, and JIT warmup.

Changes:
- For very fast operations (< 5ms), allow up to 3-10x variance
- For longer operations, require within 2x of baseline performance
- This maintains test value while reducing flakiness in CI

The tests still verify that memory/span implementations are competitive
with traditional string-based approaches, just with more realistic
thresholds for CI environments.
