Because Rik asked for a43455a1d57^1 numbers:

546423.08
546558.63
545990.01
546015.98

some a43455a1d57 numbers:

538652.93
544333.57
542684.77

same setup and everything. So clearly the patches after that made 'some'
difference indeed, seeing how tip/master is almost twice that.

So the reason I didn't so a43455a1d57^1 vs a43455a1d57 is because we already
fingered a commit, after that what you test is the revert of that commit,
because revert is what you typically end up doing if a commit is fail.

But on the state of tip/master, taking that commit out is a net negative for
everything I've tested.
