I've thought about making it optional, but the bottomline is that the
kluge-factor increases every time we need to add another workaround.
Kluges require maintenance and that's where the problem is. And since
this is only about performance, I'd rather remove micro-optimizations
than disable normal compiler optimizations by way of kernel options.

My PoV: anyone with an interest to actually work on it is in a position
to preempt everything I do. I'm just trying to extend life and keeping
bit of grace and quality if possible...
