This was prior to RELENG_7 (the poor performance), and thus any
debugging options present in addition to INVARIANTS/SKIPSPIN would
have been enabled because I incorrectly thought the malloc debugging
would be turned off in the absence of /etc/malloc.conf.

Absolutely, I do understand that. And I often run with debugging
enabled just for this purpose just on general principle. But obviously
for benchmarking you want to turn it off.

Perhaps I just missed something, but I managed to miss it even after
knowing about the debugging stuff for a long time (not exactly the
first time running CURRENT). So even if I was just being stupid, I
figure chances are I am not the first one ever to make this misstake
in spite of consciously trying to follow the instructions in
/usr/src/UPDATING for turning it all off.
