I tried that, but NUX wouldn't compile against the main trunk of XOM 
because of the various incompatible changes you've made. :-(

But really I need something simpler that goes right to the heart of the 
problem. Think of it as extreme benchmarking. We need unit benchmarks 
that test one thing and one thing only. These benchmarks might be 
informed by experience with actual applications, just as unit tests 
would be informed by finding bugs in production code, but you don't use 
the production code as the unit test for the bug. Instead you write a 
much simpler case that exposes the bug. In this case a much simpler case 
that exposed the slowness would be extremely helpful.
