Nope.  But don't get me wrong - I don't find it slow except by comparison
with older versions.  What I was expressing surprise about was not how
slow the current version was (which I work with every day and find
completely acceptable, and I am somewhat picky about such things), but how
fast 2.6 and 2.8 were.  Since Aaron and Karl seem to see similar things, I
don't think it's just a wierdness in my images.  Have other people tried
2.8 and 2.9/3.0 side by side and *not* seen a large difference?

Thanks for the changeset, though, I'll try it out.
