We've discussed before that we'd like to eliminate the assembly. We have
just been too conservative to do it without careful performance testing to
give us confidence that it won't be a performance regression, and nobody
has done that yet. I think it might be on Torvald's agenda. (If not, we
need a volunteer for that!)
