OK, Michael's checked it in, after some comments from Martin.  Woo
hoo!

But here's some sad news.  I only see a speed increase of 0.5%!  I
believe that when we first looked at this patch the speedup was about
5%...  Worse, Tim claims that on his Windows box it's actually 5%
slower.  What happened?
