I've heard this claim again and again, and I intend to look at it when
I have time. I find it difficult to believe that this alone could
explain the sometimes horrendous performance differences (3 to 1) that
have been reported.

Can somebody tell me:

1. How many calls there are per second?
2. Where they're coming from? This would involve profiling, of
course.
