No, I haven't done any benchmarking yet (I might do some before I
leave for the summer, but it's not a priority...)
FWIW, the performance improvement from this patch won't be as large
as it might be, since Tom already replaced some lappend() hot spots
with the "FastList" code. The new list API makes that optimization
global, so we'll fix anywhere that fell through the cracks.

Something like TPC-H would be better, I'd think.
