Kent, I literally wrote most of that code, and you are claiming that
the CI case is trying to be the fast case.

Not so. Get a clue. The CI case is the "nobody cares" case. It goes
off and does nasty stuff. It's very much designed to *not* affect the
sane case.

The things you complain about may be exactly those things. You just
don't understand the design.
