That webrev contains a bug that I found shortly after, the roundto()
method just rounds but does not divide :/ Please re-review the fix for
that.

After fixing this I went through another big round of testing (perf +
lots of aurora tests) to make sure that the change is finally good.

Here are the changesets:

Sorry for the issues,
