Sadly, this was too good to be true. I'd messed up the test environment
and the 25% is Ubuntu's python verses the one from OE. Ubuntu's uses PGO
whereas ours does not which is likely where the speed comes from. The
patches in this series do give a small speedup, but its more like
0.5-1%. Shows that PGO is likely worth investigating further though.

Cheers,

Richard
