Any notable optimization worth the hack.
I just need to comment here that I'd prefer we _not_ do this in pacman. "Any optimization is worth it" is a REALLY bad mantra when it comes to code, in my experience. Code should be clean and elegant _first_ and as optimized as possible _second_. So if optimizations break code clarity and add unnecessary stuff for a 0.1 second improvement, it's not worth it. Sure large improvements are worth a loss in code clarity, but, as Dan actually proved with the timings, there's very little room for improvement here.
