Comment (by nickm):

 This and the #9663 changes together save 28% of the runtime for the server
 side of the ntor handshake when built with gcc 4.7 on my 64-bit laptop
 (136 vs 175 usec); 18% when built with clang (177 vs 213 usec); and 22%
 (155 vs 200 usec) when built with gcc 4.2-llvm.  (yeah, yeah, I know, we
 should be using CPU counters.  That's another issue.)

 Note that using a recent gcc gets a pretty big performance boost in and of
 itself with this code.
