Well, I, for one, find it frustrating.  It seems pretty unhelpful to
bring this up only after the code has already been written.  The first
post on this thread was on May 10th.  The first version of the patch
was posted on June 16th.  This position was first articulated on
September 15th.

But, by all means, please feel free to do the performance comparison
and post the results.  I'd be curious to see them myself.
