I tried it out. On my rather fast computer, I am getting similar times.
The non-shell patch seems slightly better, but there is not much
between that and the shell patch. Both patches give something like 7%
speed improvements over the original. It only potentially speeds up
gnome ports, and then only a few of them like alacarte, so even if it
dramatically speeds those few up, the average speed up over all ports
will not be so great. Like I said earlier, overall improvement is
noticeable albeit not dramatic.
