Hi Marcin

Is this single-threaded or multi-threaded Moses? One possible issue is 
that threads are now compiled in by default, so even if you run with a 
single thread then you still pay some locking penalties. I'm not sure 
that this should make the large difference that you observe though. You 
can compile without threads to avoid the locking.

I haven't noticed any significant slow-down, but we don't monitor 
performance too carefully here (although we probably should). I'd be 
interested to see a profile of the two versions that you tested,

cheers - Barry
