I actually understood that part, but was already wondering if it
could be bent to slightly different purposes.  It seems as though
there would be value to using it to evaluate the performance impact
of a proposed patch, at least on a limited basis, *before* a commit.
If there's not an immediately obvious way to put it to that
alternative use, that's OK; I just thought I'd ask.
