 If you'll fix it, I should be able to tell you what difference it makes.

There's lot of other little things that have a slight performance impact.
For instance, machine-specific routines to zero out memory have been
shown to reduce object creation times. memset() can be optimized if
it is known that the number of bytes to be zeroed out is a multiple
of 4. In fact, on FreeBSD, writing a for() loop is faster than calling
memset.
