What amount of difference does this patch make? This really defeats the whole constification, which doesn't hinge on the const attribute itself, but on having the static ops in a read-only mapped section. So unless it is a real measurable and big enough difference I'm against this patch, and if there is a real an measurable difference we might have to find other ways to archive this goal.
