This is just a theory, but in the interests of response time, the JVM uses a large number of heuristics to determine what optimizations will likely prove profitable. One of them is a budget for method size. I would guess that lifting this code out into a separate fn made the JVM see that it was optimizing a hot path between the main body and several small but tightly related methods thus giving itself more leeway to inline and optimize in ways that it would otherwise presume are more expensive and not pursue.
