--- Comment #4 from Ben Maurer <ben.maurer at gmail dot com> ---
Also, here's where perf says time is being spent. While only 25% is shown as
being in the locale constructor/destructor, I suspect that the time spent in
other methods is actually related to the ping-ponging of cachelines caused by
the constructor -- all the time is being spent in memory access which should be
very hot in the CPU cache.
