Actually, I ported a much newer one a while back (well, newer than the one I
remember Dave wrestling with when he was doing performance work, anyway).
And then I actually did "most" of a port of whatever was latest as of a
couple months ago. But I'm pretty sure we're enjoying the benefits of a
reasonably modern gcc anyway.

Both true. But in the context of the performance tests discussed in this
thread, I bet a lot more performance can be gained from filesystem and disk
I/O issues than from messaging path CPU cycles.
