Comment:

 Not urgent for TahoeLAFS v1.5, so I'm bumping it.  Note that aside from
 the general "curiousness" that our code (or more likely our unit tests)
 rely on assertion-checking to be correct, turning on Python's {{{-OO}}}
 optimization mode might reduce CPU load a bit.  I thought I observed that
 when benchmarking for #329/#752, but I'm not sure if it was real or an
 artifact of noisy benchmarking.
