2.1.50 2.1.50+patch
---------- ------------
906 cycles 826 cycles

Doesn't show up that much on sparc64:

2.1.50 2.1.50+patch
---------- ------------
1495 cycles 1478 cycles

It shows up even less for 32-bit binaries because such gains are lost
in the noise when we have to go through the thick compatability layer.

2.1.50 2.1.50+patch
---------- ------------
2250 cycles 2242 cycles
