Ok, correction: I was looking at the wrong row in the table. The XOR
version with an immediate and mem access is actually as fast as the
INC/DEC mem versions: 4 cycles on AMD F10h and 6 on SNB, according to
the docs. I should've realized that there's still a mem access there...

Anyway, the rest stands.
