Wrong again.  Digging further, I find that my performance tests were in
error.

Fixing that, elp helped me find that the performance hit came from
mishandling incoming introspection requests in ‘dbus--test-introspect’.

I hadn’t registered ‘dbus--test-introspect’ for the two subnodes exposed
in the xml file.  So introspecting those nodes timed out.  Each timeout
cost a second.

I’ve fixed this for the next patch set.  The change was simple enough.
I think that can wait until the paperwork clears, unless you want an
earlier look.

Cheers,
Hugh
