I'll agree with benh for now since, yes, the performance option is 
completely broken in just blindly applying settings right now.  It should 
be revisted and made so that a safe performance setting is supported in 
the future (possibly via suggestions from arch-specific quirks), since 
having to configure this makes little sense for the vast majority of 
users.  Applying 3/3 first would also make the most sense.
