Okay, I'm so bloody sick of hearing people justifying bloat by saying 
"no measurable difference."  That only means that you don't have GROSS 
bloat.  Unless you have real statistics to the contrary, most people's 
performance testing is at the very best accurate to 5-10%.  This is 
hardly "no bloat".
