I guess we would have to find out why its slower, once that is known we may
be able to do something to avoid it.
Finding this out though could be hard ...
some things to try are
listing the functions& sizes in the object file before and after the change
there could be changes to what is inlined for example ...
comparing profiler output, maybe this gives some hint
spliting the patch down to see if the problematic part can be isolated

Many things microsoft did are stupid, but not doing something just because
microsoft did it is even more stupid. If everything ms did were stupid they
would be bankrupt already.
