Hmph. The truth is probably somewhere in between these two curves.
But in any case, I think we can make the conclusion we wanted to
make: 2Q isn't seriously worse than ARC. Since this is a dead line
of development anyway in view of the early results with the clock
sweep algorithm, I don't think there's any need to spend more time
measuring the differences carefully.

I'll go ahead and apply the 2Q patch to the 8.0 branch, unless there
are objections?
