I found a couple of places where a few cycles could be shaved. The current version of the patch (attached) seems indistinguishable in speed from 8.4 on my HPPA box, though still a percent or two slower on my x86_64 box. This is ready to go except for changing the minimum flex version test in configure (and associated documentation). I see that a good-sized fraction of the buildfarm is still on flex 2.5.4 and will therefore go red when this goes in. Should I hold off a bit longer, or is committing the best way to get their attention? regards, tom lane
