If I'm interpreting your numbers correctly, it's a 0.004% improvement in page load time on a large page (1 millisecond shaved off 24 seconds total time). I'm very much unsure if this is worth having a hundred lines of processor specific code for.

Mozilla seemed to have a measurable improvement on startup time (as they parse tons of text files for XUL), so it made more sense for them. Is there some other metric that shows a practical benefit for WebKit?
