These numbers are kind of irrelevant to me since I'll be using whatever 
was shipped in Centos for many more years in the large number of 
machines where I care about the time it takes to do things.  Building 
something from source to see if I can save a couple of seconds on my one 
fedora box doesn't sound very productive.

I'll appreciate that when it makes it to Centos.
