That's expected - the key difference between a "match spy" and a "match
decider" is that we won't optimise match spy in future versions by
delaying applying it to see if we actually need to (which we do plan to
do for match deciders).

All uses of values during the match should get faster when we change how
values are stored, especially those which want a particular value for a
lot of documents, which is the case here.
