Without bug report as I only looked into the code:
  See thread with subject "Suspicious CPU speed calculation on Mac" on this 
list, the 3rd mail has a patch.

Any chance to just do a splash&dash release by just collecting some already 
finished or rather minimal bugfixes and going into rc1 in like 2 weeks to see a 
2.8.4 with fixes only in half of the time? There are already some fixes around 
and doing the rest of development for the then 2.8.5 in next for some more 
weeks shouldn't hurt.
