I think you should at least try for initial numbers on whatever machine

It will take a couple of days, at best, as I'll be travelling.
Any earlier C-only test didn't show a clear difference either way.
The patches are "winning" even if the immediate performance difference
is a wash because they'll allow us to track column numbers at little
or no extra cost.
