I just tested the single-threaded case a bit and is not measurable
slower than the previous version, and compared to 0.177 things are
maybe ~1% slower (so probably in the noise).

A factor 1.5x-2.0x slower in parallel does seem significant. Is that in
the case of many-threads that are colliding a lot or in general?

Thanks,

Mark
