Yes, that one's pretty weird.  It doesn't quite look like the breakage I
usually see when I mess up hwa completely.  But it could be.

On the other hand, the chrome seems to be mostly correct.  And I
wouldn't expect that if we totally mess up hwa.  So maybe this is
something different after all.

Faster than software?  (Or at least roughly the same speed)
