Please disregard the v2, my infant daughter distracted me when I was
preparing the 'git format-patch' :-) I was not supposed to send the 'Speed
up..' patch since I already sent that separately. And patch 4/4 which I
believe fixes a potential issue is also missing. So lets drop/ignore all of
this v2 and I'll just send a v3.

thanks!
