I do agree, but I do agree with the OpenBSD guys here in that it is the
only real correct fix for this problem and it only does minimal damage
to all other applications. Of course, if we all feel the performance
degradation is not wanted, we should coe up with something better, though
I wouldn't quickly see a better fix.
