Hi Hans,

Siarhei however notes that even higher-end SoCs like the exynos5 have
similar performances with that regard. So I'm not sure we can do
something about it, except what is suggested in the above mail, which
looks rather unsafe.

Anyway, like you said, we have no easy other solution, and we lacked
such support until now.

So why not merge this code for now, and try to optimise it later if we
find it's needed.
That is fine with me, I just wanted to share that this has shown as
a bottleneck in some benchmarks in case anyone has a clever idea to
fix it ...
And you were right, since I wasn't aware of such discussion.

Thanks!
Maxime
