Since Robert is on the road, and off email for a couple days i will
respond to this
based upon what he and Wes Embry at SGI have told me on this issue.  

3.04 has a change which is inteneded to speed exception handling up quite
a bit. 
while this has been verified to work well on the sun, Wes tells me it has
also been
verified (well this was a month or more ago) to NOT change things much on
the sgi.
thus i guess your milage may vary.
