You're right, Nick. The assumption here is that the regression will be
around 5%. Unfortunately, I don't have performance numbers from inbound
to confirm yet, since we didn't land yet. The most recent try run with
the patch in bug 860493 applied can be found here:

Datazilla (perf-o-matic?) somehow doesn't like to display performance
numbers for me on try. Maybe more experienced minds can make this work?

Thank you,
Stephen
