Tracking origin/master is not the same as the latest stable -- 0.9.21,
which is in Lucid -- but I'm highly keen to narrow down what the
source of performance differences is.  How are you compiling?  Which
build-dependencies do you have installed?

As explained above, Ubuntu already carries the latest stable, and the
differences to origin/master HEAD aren't significant (other than dbus,
eq).
