Hi Cornelia,

I didn't re-run tests on V2. But the major difference between RFC and V2
is that V2 only cache result for X86 (s390/arm needn't) and V2 saves a
expensive operation ( 440-1400 cycles on my test machine ) for X86/VMX.

So I think V2's performance is at least the same as RFC or even slightly
better. :)
