	Can you quantify how "slower" the 3.x code is? What's "slower" about
it? A lot of people are willing to help, but providing no concrete
information offers little possibility.

	In the mean time, did you happen to get a chance to reproduce the
problem in 3.3-STABLE ? It appears from your description of the problem
that's it somewhat tougher to debug, and knowing whether 3.3 remedies the
problem can be of some help.
