You're right, 1.3 was faster than the way we do it now. But we could do better still. I was thinking of something like a hash or a trie search for exact matches on r->handler. But then OtherBill got me thinking that if a module decided that it could serve the request in some earlier phase, it ought to be able to do something to latch on to the handler phase and eliminate most of the searching altogether.
