Thanks for that.  As for timing, I have no hard numbers.  In fact, after
some checking, I just realized that my app that has been using nxutils
still even though I am on master!  Maybe my slowdown was a coincidence with

Everyone should remember to clear out nxutils.so because the build/clean
process won't necessarially do it unless you blow away your install dir.
