There is more volatileness in x86 performance numbers already than
the predicted change by this.  For example I see both leslie3d and
GemmsFDTD dropped 30% / 20% around Jul 5th.  I would rather
wait for a quieter period to analyze the cummulative effect of all
the changes we piled up.  Fixing them afterwards is probably better
than trying to block changes that cannot definitely explain the
seen change.
