I'm not suggesting that we run the benchmarks or put 'significantly'
back in the description, but I would like to include some context.

This is the shell that Debian uses as the default non-interactive
"system" shell. They replaced Bash with dash in that context in order to
reduce the time spent on shell initialization for things like the boot
sequence.

Just an FYI.
