That's annoying. Should I reopen #1240? (Or possibly open a new issue
about it; we should also consider making it a High-prio, since I doubt
we want to release a new stable version with that much of a
performance drop.)

Interesting. I'm in the process of porting it to my new framework, but
I'd be interested in seeing your diff (I'm guessing beaming stuff, at
the very least?).

Thanks for the heavy benchmarking; your patience and thoroughness amaze me! :-)

Cheers,
Valentin.
