Anyway. All this has shown me is that it's probably pointless to do this
timing at all on Linux. Somebody on Windows might get better results.

But regardless, we need to do something. Correctness must trump
optimizations, and the question is whether we can throw out the whole
conditional, or if we should just restrict when it kicks in.

Yes.  I personally do not mind going with the simplest approach.
The optimization thing is relatively new and we were perfectly happy
without it before ;-).

Does git accept outside pull requests? I wouldn't mind committing the
fix for this once it's been decided what the fix should be. (It might
help my resume ;)

Please see Documentation/SubmittingPatches.

Thanks.
