As I understand that report, in these results "less is better", so the
hacked8 variant shows better performance (33.8) than current (42.5).
The "hacked" variant shows worse performance (48.2) that the current
code. The "in spite" phrase seems to have been a mistake.
I am surprised that there is so much variability in the performance
numbers, though, based on such small tweaks of the code.
