OK, did the single thread profiles:

- when parsing just the internal PHP Function file, the overall cost is down 
from 19 E9 to 9 E9, i.e. about 50%. Parsing (real-part of time output) is 
roughly 15% faster on this one machine.

- the above is probably due to QMutex::lock/::unlock being called only 18.3 
mio times, instead of 38.5 mio times.

- shouldDoDUChainReference is not on top of the list of incl-cost anymore, but 
on place 10 (excluding <cycle 10>)

- even when comparing self-costs', the cost of shouldDoDUChainReference is 
slightly lower than before, while nearly all others got a lot lower (esp. 
getContextForIndex, but this was also optimized by you, no? Damn, I think I 
didn't do a profile after that patch!)
