It's not *that* noticeable, as I failed to demonstrate any performance
difference before committing the patch. I think some more investigation
is warranted to find out why some other people are getting different
results.

Some fraction of 3d21f08bc would also need to be undone. It's also worth
contemplating that we'd be re-introducing old problems with not-enough-
SysV-semaphores, so even if there is a performance benefit to be had,
it's very far from being free.
