Slight? You are kidding! :-)
The speed increase is huge in fact compared to version 3.7.
With the attached quick-and-dirty scene I get the following results 
using 1 million iterations:

+av151; macro inside scene parsing time: 1 minute 5 seconds (65.988 seconds)
+av151; macro outside scene parsing time: 1 minute 6 seconds (66.971 
seconds)

V 3.7; macro inside scene parsing time: stopped parsing manually after 
more than 10 minutes!

Note: for using the test scene with outside macro, just copy the macro 
to another place and uncomment the macro's include.

Not found any yet.
