Those fix a performance regression reported by a real user.

Sure I did a cleanup of dead code in one of those commits,
but if you look at the commit beforehand from Herbert, the
context, you can see that it made no sense to leave that
in there any longer as half of what it was standing there
as "documenting" was removed by Herbert's commit.
