Unless you can guarantee that the frontend switchover race condition will *never* happen *ever* across any system, including a large amount of architectures and array of cpu types and speeds, I don't think it's beneficial to remove it. Hence, I'm very hesitant to deploy your patch and break this auto plp detection for someone, just to save <=10ms.
