It might be acceptable for Stage 3 if the subsequent follow-on patches 
demonstrated a noticable performance improvement.  It should be a branch 
until you can demonstrate that improvement.  The final decision on 
acceptability will probably hinge on how mechanical the patch is: even 
if large, if it is quite mechanical (as I would anticipate), that will 
make it less worrisome.
