Here are some patches that didn't get much comment last time. It
looks like x86 might benefit too though, so that might get people
interested.
I improved changelogs and added some comments, but no real logic
changes.
I hope I didn't get the x86 numbers wrong, they're more significant
than I expected so it could quite well be a problem with my test
(corrections welcome). Any data from other archs would be interesting
too.
Andrew perhaps if there aren't objections these could go in mm for
a while.
Thanks,
Nick
