It is probably an operator error.  I.e., me making a mistake; I had to
rewrite the program a bit in order to make the change.  Still,
profiling shows that it's the array updates that take almost all the
time.  I'll try to sort out the benchmarks a bit next week, and if I
still observe that behaviour, I'll try to distill a clean example for you.
