Once again: your patch won't fix it either.

It will still be present. Just less frequently.

Please refrain from posting a new patch before the discussion on the old 
one is done.

See my comments on v2 why optimizing out the function call is a 
reasonable thing to do *where we cannot batch* and the misaccounting 
will still happen. But it can be done independently.
