I don't know how many cycles it is, but I did do a simple experiment
where I simply removed the __thread specifier on the thread-specific
context.  That resulted in a huge... 5% overall improvement (and
obviously wouldn't work for the MT scenario).

So even though 'perf' showed the TLS access as being a bottleneck, in
practice perhaps the problem is really the memory accesses surrounding
the data.  Will have to investigate more.
