Array#reject! nonlinear performance problem

Description

I found Array#reject! is too slow.

I measured it and it seems the performance is nonlinear.

% ./ruby -v -e '
20.times {|i|
  a = [nil]*i*10000;
  t1 = Time.now
  a.reject! { true }
  t2 = Time.now
  t = t2 - t1
  p ["*" * (t * 20).to_i , t]
}

Ruby 2.2, 2.1, 2.0, 1.9.3 also have the problem but Ruby 1.9.2 works well.

% ruby-1.9.2-p330 -v -e ' 
20.times {|i|
  a = [nil]*i*10000;
  t1 = Time.now
  a.reject! { true }
  t2 = Time.now
  t = t2 - t1
  p ["*" * (t * 20).to_i , t]
}
