That's certainly something I'm interested in investigating.  It's not
nearly as obvious a win as it may seem at first, so it's something that
needs to be looked at carefully.

In any case, this would be something for 2.5.x, so I don't think we
should clutter the current TODO list with such things (there are LOTS
of other performance related things we can do...).
