Thanks guys for the discussion so far. I wanted to add some graphs I generated. 
I modified the code at ObjectMethods to split the getters in slot sizes from 10 
to 200 in increments of 10. Then I executed the benchmark with the given slot 
size for records and lombok classes with `int` and `String` components. In 
every case the record and the lombok class had all ints or all String 
components / fields. I collected data for 1, 10, 100 and 254 components / 
fields. See below the graphical representation of the data I got. Some comments 
below analyzing the data for records:

### 1 component
As expected the slot size doesn't matter much for this case as we are dealing 
with only one component:
![1Component](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/62155190/142744040-c1e9c72f-b93b-4b33-8db9-1e04b2e7661f.jpg)

### 10 components
Here the slot size doesn't make a big difference as expected. There is a tight 
range for the case when all the components are ints. For the string case the 
range is also very tight modulo a couple of data points but we could safely say 
that the numbers are pretty good for slots sizes from 10-80:
![10Components](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/62155190/142743997-8f17bc51-0522-4b09-ab86-5af00e1652c6.jpg)

### 100 components
Here we start seeing the number of slots playing a more important role. See how 
the time grows in a quasi logarithmic function for 100 string components once 
the slot size is greater than 70 for the all integers case we get pretty good 
numbers up to slot size 60:
![100Components](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/62155190/142743998-af3a9222-3c78-4887-bc2a-9494fbec5e37.jpg)

### 254 components
The results for 254 integer components show a lot of variation. The results are 
good for slot sizes 10, 20 and then for most sizes from 70 to 170, not for 150. 
Whereas for the all strings case we have good numbers up to slot size 60 and it 
peaks up from there: 
![254Components](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/62155190/142744000-2c90ff34-d780-442e-a604-78a78252f10a.jpg)

So these data seems to confirm that slot sizes from 10-30 is where we want to 
be. I will update the patch to use 20 slots to split the getters. Thanks again 
for the discussion!
