It sounds like you're running nightly builds. I think some other  
responders to this thread have assumed that you meant that the actual  
code change that resulted in r38760 being committed to Subversion  
caused a performance regression, while what you really mean (I think)  
is that the r38760 nightly build is slower than some nightly build  
prior to it.

Can you tell us which builds you ran and the "score" you obtained for  
each? (How was the "score" determined, btw?)
