This version of the patch incorrectly defaults to the new performance 
mode.  Since we haven't even had that code in the 3.1 release yet, I don't 
think it is suitable for a stable release.  This patch should be revised 
to a version with default set to safe/don't-touch mode if it is to be 
included.
