>From dt-testbed/proto3/README:
Ah, much better! The previous rev required static branch backpatching to
be off to test dynamic branches. Ramon had noticed this and
made a fix to allow static branches backpatching to work
along with the dynamic branch code, like it should. There
were also static branches in the test guest code, so not
allowing the dynamic tcode address backpatching was dragging
the performance down. It now takes much less actual workload
to cost average the price of dynamic branch handling technique.
