Shoot. I was hoping this would fly, as Jens mentioned the current
implementation of cancellation is really problematic w.r.t. performance.

I've been floating another scheme for implementing cancellation without
any overhead when it's not being used. Basically, we just need help from
the allocator (need to be able to iterate over potentially allocated
objects).

I'll cook up an RFC patch, I think.
