Re: FUNC_MAX_ARGS benchmarks

OK, time to get moving folks. Looks like the increase in the function
args to 32 and the NAMEDATALEN to 128 has been sufficiently tested. Tom
has some ideas on removing some memset() calls for function args to
speed things up, but we don't have to wait for that go get going. The
end of August is nearing.

Is there any reason to delay the change further?
