Comment(by ezyang):

 Measuring the effect of adding five 64-bit words to the TSO (and no other
 changes)

 {{{
         Program           Size    Allocs   Runtime   Elapsed  TotalMem
           sieve          +0.0%     +0.0%     +0.7%     +0.8%     +0.0%
 }}}

 E.g. it hurts, but is not the root cause of the major problems.
