On FreeBSD-386 I get more consistent results. The 46% increase
in time for scan and 28% for pick can probably be recovered
with profiling directed optimizations. But there are at least
three reasons why this unlikely to happen.
1) I will have to make it happen and I don't have a strong
desire to work on the current code base.
2) libgc will have to work on every platform of interest and
it gave me problems on two platforms I tried. I have even less
of a desire to fix libgc issues.
3) People will find that the same optimizations help the
non-gc case and you guys will move the goalposts!
