Hahaha, nope.  So this change could actually be a performance win!

Dale, here's a preliminary patch:

Would this kind of change be acceptable to your mysterious client who
won't fully disclose their requirements?  All they have to do is flip
a static boolean flag (it's ugly, I know, but I wanted it to be easy
to change programmatically so a CLI flag takes more work).
