As I've written up in the thread we can not gain much from this
optimization. The results of Jakub shows around 2% difference:

On the other hand, the patch indeed is tiny and I don't think the
proposed advise can ever make things bad. So, I've looked through the
patch again and I agree it can be committed in the current state.

Kind regards,
