Comment (by gridaphobe):

 Wow, excellent sleuthing!

 So is the bottom line is that the increase that you believe to
 '''actually''' be attributable to the top-level strings patch will be
 fixed by the combined CSE of string literals and lazier interface file
 patches? (I seem to recall you mentioning a gain of roughly 1% from one or
 the other, but it's not in this ticket, perhaps IRC..)
