So, there was a bunch of debate as to whether this was actually causing
stalls, or the stalls came from some other artifact of bzip2 and this just
perturbed the code enough to hide them, etc.

Check out http://llvm.org/PR22473 -- I'm increasingly thinking that we may
have been chasing ghosts on this one Jim. If the problem persists after
Quentin's work to improve bzip2, I think we need a might more precise fix.
This hammer seems too big and to be squashing lots of other things.

What do you think about potentially reversing course here? Are there
benchmarks you can run internally to see if backing this out causes any
significant regressions these days?
