i don't really can say it improves something - but maybe im just not the 
right person to interpret the numbers

your patch gives the worst result in stream benchmark but nearly the 
best in pugixml compile times and prime.c runtime
every tried patch or branch nearly halfs the speed of the stream 
benchmark comapred to qemu-git-master

legende:
tcg-indirect => git://github.com/rth7680/qemu.git  tcg-indirect
without-optimization => qemu-git-master + undefine USE_TCG_OPTIMIZATIONS
build flags for gcc are unrelevant because im using always the same

system:
Ubuntu 15.04 x64 Host, NetBSD SPARC64 guest running from ramdisk (to 
reduce io noise)
