Yeah, I did see the inline statements, but I was worried mostly about
the sheer number of calls. For 5000-odd pages, it seems silly to be
calling something 2 billion times!
Good work though, that should help narrow the performance gap.

Well, that's the reason for profiling--it's somtimes hard to see
what's a bottleneck and what isn't! It's also hard to know how things
scale, so I'll probably run this test a few more times--it takes a
while because profiling is slow, but I'm willing to run overnight.
Next up, I'll try htsearch. That should also be interesting.
