Thanks for alerting us about this!

I found this case so intersting I ran my own test. I ran the function over
500MB of data from /dev/urandom and on this test data I could see a slightly
better than 40% performance gain (with gcc -O3 on my 3.5GHz Intel i7 CPU).

Still: "This was causing a two-second startup delay" seems unlikely. I could
run the unoptimized version through 500MB of data in 1.5 seconds, and surely
any sensible cookie use cases would be several magnitudes away of that?
