Log Message:
Shave another 2.5 microseconds off the fast-path dispatch case, by moving
locking off the fast path.  Locking is now only required when a dispatcher
has no cached tree nodes, when expanding a lazy node, and when reseeding
a node.  Also, adjust the "best split" algorithm so that it has a chance
to check dispatch IDs that it initially passed up because of prerequisites
that then turned out to be bogus (i.e., the prerequisites were irrelevant
for the current set of cases).

This is probably the last speedup for the fast-path that can be done in
Python.  Dispatcher.__getitem__ will have to become C code in order to
squeeze anything else out, I think.  Possibly DispatchNode, too.
