Not this patch, no.  Locally I have applied patch 1/2 and not patch
2/2. Patch 2/2 just removes dead code after patch 1/2 removes the
functionality, and I must have gotten it wrong.

But I can report that performance has been fine with patch 1/2 - I
haven't seen the pathological case I was seeing before, and I haven't
seen any new pathological cases to replace it.
