Tracking origin/master is not the same as the latest stable -- 0.9.21, which is in Lucid -- but I'm highly keen to narrow down what the source of performance differences is. How are you compiling?

As explained above, Ubuntu already carries the latest stable, and the differences to origin/master HEAD aren't significant (other than dbus, eq). -Dan
