None whatsoever.

I even did a quick test with three pages:
| CI#1995 | CI#1996
news.bbc.co.uk | 6.1s | 6.0s
www.bbc.co.uk | 3.5s | 3.4s
en.wikipedia.org | 4.8s | 5.1s

Entirely non-scientific, but it doesn't seem any faster. They are
both significantly quicker than the values in the screenshots on the
NetSurf site though. :)

I'm hoping it is stopping NetSurf taking processor time away from
other tasks.
