Previously the mappers computed (and allocated variables containing) the output bin sizes. These were then used to compute (and allocate variables for) output bin indices. As the sizes themselves are not needed, we can skip this and directly setup the indices. This saves around 20% when grouping few rows into O(1M) bins.
We are now entering the territory of noise for my benchmark setup, but I think this improvement is still significant:
