Lars tends to work in batches (from experience) so waiting on him can
take a while. Looking at the discussion, I think the change is OK. I've
CC-ed Katsumi Yamaoka since he may have some feedback as well.

If this is pushed, since it's a fairly low-level change, it should
include a test for the specific issue it fixes (I didn't see that in the
discussion so far). Then if we need to tune the code further, we'll have
something to keep us from creating a regression.

Thanks
Ted
