Again, I believe that's exactly the point Cris was making - running a
million executions of a code block is not something which happens in real
life. In practice, chances are the speed loss will be negligible in most
real world situations.
Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying that that's a good reason to slow
things down, but we should keep things in proportion.
