Loss of "fast" question

[roccit_53 at scirocco.cs.uoguelph.ca (C Boyko)]

Well, what exactly do you mean by "clean"? Every time I go looking at those
items they look clean to me. I'll look again, but I'm not thinking that
would even knock it back to as slow as it is. By "huge"? like a full second
off its best time, but it's been sliding gradually over the past few years.
It's not misssing or running rough, just slow.
