By attempting Andrew Dunstan's suggestion, I got a better feel for the reality that the "housekeeping" code produces a significant amount of overhead.

You are welcome! v4.1 has some problems with in_quote case in SIMD
handling code and counting cstate->chars_processed variable. I fixed
them in v4.2.
