Hi David,

Sorry for drawing this out. Originally the performance still seemed off.
But as we split the patch up to see where the perf impact was, the problem
seemed to have disappeared. So we are testing the original patch again.

The only difference now is we were playing with the -BN option in perf based
on your changelog, just because we never used it before. :-)

One last test without the -BN option and if that looks fine, then we have no
objections. Again sorry for dragging this out. I will let you know
tomorrow EST.

Cheers,
Don
