It just looks like measurement noise or, at worse, the side effect of
slightly different code generation by the compiler.
I don't think a ±1% variation on a desktop computer can be considered
significant.

(which means that the patch reaches its goal of not decreasing
performance, anyway :-))

Antoine.
