Any certain workload you'd like me test? I'm willing to do :)

I've tested this patch with MySQL as well (like in v2). This won't hurt
the MySQL case with SIS_PROP but observed some improvement with SIS_UTIL
posted in [1]. We leverage the nr to suppress redundant scanning in the
current approach and seems SIS_UTIL is more efficient in this case.
