6.2 and 7.0 CVS sources (which are graphed on Jeff's blog and my
webpage linked there) are unlikely to differ much: as I said, filedesc
locking was key to fixing performance here.  I'm sure we'll be
promoting this improvement heavily when 7.0 enters release cycle, to
encourage people to consider upgrading.
