I've been running pango-language-profile now aswell, also produced new
results with fs-tests BUT then when I made tests with x86 I found out
with callgrind&kcachegrind that quite much of the time was spent on
typecasts and checks ...  so actually I've been running stuff with debug
turned on (instead of 'minimal' in stable release) :-/ With x86 this
does not seem to make much difference but with arm I'd expect results
with new pango to be better. I'm sorry for my misconclusions, I'll run
the tests again and post results!
