Tavis,

If you want to take the next step, then you should test it to see if it 
makes a noticeable difference in the performance of WebKit.  If so, then we 
can consider including it in WebKit.  I'd leave it up to Chuck to decide if 
the improved performance is worth the extra hassle and confusion of having 
our own souped-up version of a standard module.

These kinds of optimizations don't interest me personally very much, but it 
does seem that a lot of people are interested in squeezing as much speed 
out of WebKit as possible.
