[ scratches head ... ]  Actually, I'd have expected that you could still
measure a difference.  I thought it might be reduced to the point where
we arguably shouldn't spend major effort on eliminating it.  But no
difference at all really does not compute.  Could you recheck your test
conditions?  You still haven't been very clear what they are.
