Those are a little higher up in the proverbial fruit tree. :-) The 
patches you've proposed to the constructor seem reasonable, but my 
measurements show those changes actually slowing things down. That may 
be something screwy on my system, or something weird in my measurements, 
since it certainly seems like the changes should speed things up; but 
until I'm more confident I'm not going to commit those.

The Verifier changes are simply too complex for me to be comfortable 
integrating them at this point. They may yet be added in 1.1.1 or 1.2; 
but I don't want to risk any late-breaking bugs.
