The 2% number was wrong; most of that is the call to tsubst which we 
would be doing anyway.  But using a hash table did create significant 
overhead (about 0.9%) in typical code with low deduction nesting, so I 
decided to have it both ways: we start with a VEC and then switch to a 
hash table if the VEC gets large.

Tested x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, applying to trunk.
