And mine was buggy. See http://marc.info/?l=git&m=117537594112450&w=2 and I decided it wasn't worth it. Yours looks much better, and seems to get a real performance improvement, so go for it, but I doubt that the actual object lookup is really ever the main issue. I've never seen it stand out in the real profiles, although if it is able to cut down on IO (and your minor fault numbers are promising!), it might be more important than I'd otherwise think.
