Sorry for the delay. Things have been backing up...

We tested with tis series and found there was no performance change in
our test suites. (We don't have a good way to share the actual numbers
outside right now, but since they aren't really different it probably
doesn't matter much here.)

The difference we did see was a slight decrease in the number of tasks
moved around at higher loads. That seems to be a good thing even though
it didn't directly show time-based performance benefits (and was pretty
minor).

So if this helps other use cases we've got no problems with it.

Thanks,
Phil
