Which slowdown? Are you serious? Shouldn't valgrind first try to get
things running *correct* before trying to optimize performance? There
are already enough applications like spice or matlab which grossly
misbehave, produce cropped results (80bit fp gets reduced to 64bit fp
math, resulting in gross matlab malfunctions) or just plainly crash.
