Correct.

BTW, do anyone tried to benchmark it?  We'll plan to include this
extension, but it's good idea to know whether it boosts up the
performance or not before inclusion.

Note that I can't benchmark because unfortunatelly I noticed I didn't
have any EV67+ machine.  HP testdrive is another choise, but that is
multi user access machine (so the result becomes uncertain).
