This has been proposed a few times in the past, but nobody has yet
seriously investigated it.

I think the first step would be to do exactly what Han-Wen
suggests -- hey, it'll only take 5 minutes!  (assuming that you
choose a very large score to test with?)   If you see a
significant increase, then clearly it's worth investigating more.
But that other investigation will probably require modifying the
C++ code.
