Yeah thought about that too. If we don't have that I believe the guest
would retry but that means doing two full intercepts and going through
all the other logic too. Since these retries are afaik extremely rare
it shouldn't matter much but on the other hand I would expect them to
only happen when the system is overloaded and then doing all this extra
work surely isn't helpful.

I agree.
