Hmph, how costly are these tests to run and maintain?
I somehow have a feeling that removal of these "performance" tests
is less worrysome than removing correctness tests, but as long as we
claim to support both configurations (i.e. with and without lookup
tables), it feels a bit premature to remove tests for one of them.
