I am not sure what "rebasing needed" means and whether I need to do
anything special.  I did "git pull", "git checkout wip-agenda-speedup"
and "make".

I get the following results now:

Please do not compare the times from these runs with those of
yesterday.  This is a different computer, a much older one but with Xeon
processors so difficult to compare...

(also ignore org version in this email signature as it comes from before
updating the repository)

I hope this helps!

Thanks,
eric
