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. :)
