Well, it's all based solely on a large number of patches and stopgaps.
If we fix main problems for today, it's already good.

Have you tried to instrument every basic block with a function call to
collect coverage, check every damn memory access for validity, enable
all thinkable and unthinkable debug configs and put the insanest load
one can imagine from a swarm of parallel threads? It makes things a
bit slower ;)

This is good!
