After liberal snipping... The difference between Maximum and Standard
isn't very big on this test.  In fact, it's not really very big at all
(3 instructions out of 9755 insns) at 0.03%.  I sometimes wish I hadn't
added Maximum as it's just too darn slow and perhaps it should have been
called "Benchmark Mode" as that's what prompted the drive to
reduce code
size.  However, we should have also improved execution speed for this
release too.

For the next point release, I'm working on speeding up cross jumping and
tail merging, which are now slower than cross calling for some programs.

I'd recommend that users stick to Cross Calling set to Standard in
Release mode, it's the most useful setting.
