Eli mentioned that he didn't think the speed gain from using OUTS
vs. OUT was significant. If that is really the case, why not use
the conservative approach and always use OUT? If there isn't a
win, I can't see the value of having knobs to tweak the implement-
ation, either at compile time or run time.
