I'm not sure how it could have that much impact on the performance
since the total effect would just be dropping what should be a
redundant test since we tested the skip bit before we took the LRU
bit, so we shouldn't need to test it again after.

I finally got my test setup working last night. I'll have to do some
testing in my environment and I can start trying to see what is going
on.

Thanks.
