Thanks for more data. It looks like the patch is probably a win for me
(depending on how you slice the workload), and definitely a win for you,
then. So probably it is a sane thing to change the default.

I suspect the reason I got more of a speedup for "make test" is that I
don't do the svn or cvs tests, both of which are really slow and won't
be improved by the patch. If you have either installed, then that is
diluting your speedup.
