Seems Tomasz linked to the wrong patch. The patch he meant was:
http://drupal.org/files/issues/drupal_lookup_path-6.x.patch.txt

Or better... he linked to the correct patch (for drupal 5.x) but the
user Earnie made a mistake or something in the 5.x patch, seeing the
comment[1] that the patches should be the same...

Also nice to see people "benchmark" differences by just executing a
query once[2][3]....
