Well, it was like 264s vs. 269s but it looked good so I tried to
confirm progress independent of Andreas change ;)  You can look
at the usual variance of the machine here:
http://gcc.opensuse.org/SPEC/CFP/sb-czerny-head-64-2006/recent.html
(that's of course including source changes for each dot).

So yes, in the full 1-run I account +- 5s (out of ~260) as noise.

Note that all SPEC tests ran ontop of r23181[34].

Yes, and we need to decide on that fallout and if we should go for the
more ugly variant (it also fixes the gromacs regression for me).
