OK, well removing that part of the patch gets us back from 28s to 
about 21s (compared to 20s virgin), total user time compared to 
virgin is up from 59s to 62s, user from 191 to 195. So it's still 
a net loss, but not by nearly as much. Are you determining target 
node on fork or exec ? I forget ...

Profile is more comparible. Nothing sticks out any more, but maybe
it just needs some tuning for balance intervals or something.
