Comment:

 That patch looks plausible to me for 0.2.4.  Let's test it some and make
 sure. (We'll need to try it on an exit or a busy client, I think.)

 Do we expect a performance win on this? How should we try to measure it?

 For 0.2.5, I'd like to use an approach more like what I described in #8111
 .  It changes more of the code, but the end result seems less kludgey and
 less likely to be littered with did-we-really-mean-that functions.
