The beta workspaces turn the extra debug code on by default in
configure.  If you didn't turn it off in the binaries you generated
these numbers from then the results are extremely inaccurate.  If that
is the case you might be in for a pleasant surprise.  I thought the
extra debug code was creating more than a 10% performance degradation.
