Hi Barry,
both version were run with one thread, but with multi-thread support 
compiled in. The slow-down is similar for 8 threads, just scaled 
proportionally, 170 seconds vs 135 seconds.

I've noticed that effect while I was checking the performance of my 
phrase table after merging with master and first thought that it is my 
fault, but I have the same effect with the standard phrase table, as 
reported below.

How exactly do you want me to profile the versions?
Best,
Marcin
