I'm certainly ok with this. It removes code even in the "no cleanup of
the core VM" case, and performance doesn't seem to be horrible.

That said, I *really* want to get at least some minimal testing on
something that actually uses it as more than just a test-program. I'm
sure somebody inside RH has to have a 32-bit Oracle setup for
performance testing. Guys?
