Did you have a chance to check whether this had any negative impact on actual workloads? Since the entry/exit code is a bit of a hot spot, I'd like to make sure we're not penalising the common case (I only wrote this patch while waiting in an airport, and didn't test it at all). Any such data about it would be very welcome in the commit message. Thanks, M. -- Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.
