I did not use perf..... This is the part where  it is not quite convincing to report the change, I am using a profiling tool of my own as I mentioned in the first mail.....
But I believe my profiling tools did detect some changes.

I am not experienced with the perf-tool at all,   too complicated a tool for me.... But I think I can try it.
