"Off the rails" was a rhetorical flourish; indeed a single program
regressing by 3% isn't a catastrophe.

That being said, runtime performance improvements are hard-won prizes.
Consider that the largest allocations improvement arising from the
"Compiling without Continuations" paper was ~8%. Consequently, if
someone comes along with a 3% regression we would remiss not to
take it seriously.
