Of course it's broken, and it's not meant as a fix, but this change allows
you to see the amount of overhead as well as any miscalculations
__update_curr incurs.

In terms of overhead, __update_curr incurs ~3x slowdown, and in terms of
run-time accounting it exhibits a ~10sec task-startup miscalculation.

The task-startup stalling is still there for ~10sec.

Can you see the problem on your machine?


Thanks!
