   Cool.  I think that's more than negligible.  What about code size?

   ??  I thought we were running at about 90% the speed of NJ on this
   benchmark, before the 6.5% speedup.  So now, we should be at 95%.

Unfortunately, on the latest benchmark run, NJ ran in 59.35 seconds.
So, it appears we're ~20% slower.  I've got a couple of more ideas
I'm going to pursue wrt uncurrier, but I think this is roughly about
the best we can expect. I didn't measure code size -- I'll do that in
the next run.
