I ran with both options and get no regressions.

The execution_time tests that fail with and without my patches are the following ones by the way : 

--- Tested: 986 tests --
FAIL: MultiSource/Applications/Burg/burg.execution_time (494 of 986)
FAIL: MultiSource/Applications/ClamAV/clamscan.execution_time (495 of 986)
FAIL: MultiSource/Applications/lemon/lemon.execution_time (496 of 986)
FAIL: MultiSource/Benchmarks/MiBench/automotive-bitcount/automotive-bitcount.execution_time (497 of 986)
FAIL: MultiSource/Benchmarks/MiBench/telecomm-FFT/telecomm-fft.execution_time (498 of 986)
FAIL: MultiSource/Benchmarks/Olden/voronoi/voronoi.execution_time (499 of 986)
FAIL: MultiSource/Benchmarks/Ptrdist/anagram/anagram.execution_time (500 of 986)
FAIL: SingleSource/Benchmarks/BenchmarkGame/puzzle.execution_time (501 of 986)
