But does it slow it down?  My machine has horrible build times with this
patch installed on 3.14-rc2.  Reverted, my builds go back to normal
speeds (2 minutes instead of 8 minutes.)

I'm going to drop this patch from the stable trees for now, as I can't
live with that kind of performance decrease on my machines.
