Right.  The point is, that 4.6 makes an incompatible change with 4.2.52. 
On the upside, we've only stayed with recommending 4.2 because neither 4.4 
or 4.5 did better.  4.6 does do better.  I've already discussed with Howard 
that once the changes for 4.6 are in HEAD, I'll do further benchmarking to 
compare HEAD w/4.2 support and HEAD w/ 4.6 support to verify that 4.6 
continues to give the better performance.
