With, for all the numbers. Things are probably faster without it in there,
but it's not quite fair to compare a 5.6.0 build without to a 5.004_04
build with. (Well, I suppose it's OK, since you'll see an absolute
performance gain, but that doesn't tell you much about the relative
slowdown of the core)
