Raspberry PI 4: CPU too powerful/memory too slow?

I'm currently profiling some DSP code that I try to optimize for Raspberry Pi 4.
The most interesting thing related to Raspberry PI 4 is that SIMD-optimized code gets nearly the same performance as same scalar code.
Currently looking with the perf tool, I see the bottleneck related to the... memory???
Here's a screenshot:

As the opposite situation, here's the same code for Raspberry Pi 3B+

As we see here, there are less losses on load/store instructions than for Raspberry Pi 4B
