What amount of difference does this patch make?

This really defeats the whole constification, which doesn't hinge
on the const attribute itself, but on having the static ops in
a read-only mapped section.  So unless it is a real measurable
and big enough difference I'm against this patch, and if there is
a real an measurable difference we might have to find other ways
to archive this goal.
