I'm tempted to backport the patches to 2.3 so we can compare with
what 2.3 could have been:-)

Maybe --disable-debug is a place to fetch some speed.  If it makes a
enough difference from loglevel 0, it might be an idea to disable _some_
loglevels and some asserts in the default build.  After we've done
something about that broken log system of course - IIRC today one needs
to turn on massive logging to get certain error messages.
