I took a look into it.  It's mostly Evo bugs that I don't feel
comfortable changing :).  Now that we have the alias, perf
keyword is not really needed for our purposes.

Humm, instead of mass changing anything to add this list as QA

sees a bug that he thinks can get some help from people here
*immediately*.  I mean, mostly for bugs that we are discussing,
or when you are submitting a patch that can be improved, etc..
