I guess the slowdown from -fexceptions is less than 10% and that still sufficed 
to -fno-exceptions most modules. So 10% slowdown is really, really, bad.

And in Qt, we're cheating. We're not marking strings unsharable when we hand 
out references to characters, as we must, to be *implicitly* shared. We're 
only doing "semi-implicit-sharedness", because, let's face it, if we did real-
implicit, we'd be detaching all the time.
