    I run some preliminary tests with "macofida", and, without doing any
real filtering, it seems to hurt performance by a factor of 3.2 (which
is more or less what one would expect). I plan to run more tests in a
few days, but, as you probably know, getting meaningful numbers out of
these things takes time --- and I also have some real work to do.
