As Tanu points out, some hard data here would be good. But just to set
your expectations correctly, this code is actually not used on any
recent x86 or ARM machine since there are optimised routines for these.
I'm certainly not against optimisations to these paths, since
there /are/ other architectures that PA runs on.

Cheers,
