Oh wow, I've done a rather large set of changes to improve the
performance so it wouldn't need to be on its own thread (targeted at
certain low end AMD and Intel Atom platforms).  I guess I'll go back
and see if some of the uglier changes can be dropped from that patch
series before submitting it.

Thanks,
