The question was: if gcc has already been paged in (e.g. by a prior xrdb
call), does this change provide any noticeable benefit?

The previous discussions seemed to indicate that the largest performance
wins would come from not paging gcc in at all, which will only happen if
either (a) all xrdb calls use -nocpp or (b) xrdb uses a different C
preprocessor.
