Builtin functions for one, which we'd swatted down last time round due
to gperfs defficiencies. But I think there's plenty more potential,
e.g. it'd make sense from a performance POV to use a perfect hash
function for locks on builtin objects (the hashtable for lookups therein
shows up prominently in a fair number of profiles, and they are a large
percentage of the acquistions). I'm certain there's plenty more, I've
not though too much about it.
