Performance improvement hackathon: improve process comparison routines,

disable useless code in release builds such as runtime type-checking on
dynamic data structures and process fields that are not being computed,
faster(?) method for verifying the process owner (still need to ensure
correctness), don't destroy and create process objects for hidden kernel
threads over and over. Phew. I shouldn't be doing all this today, but I
could not resist.

What's new in version 0.6.3
* Performance improvements; uses much less CPU than the
previous release with the default setup.
* Use 64-bit values when storing processor times to
avoid overflow.
* Memory consumption improvements, compensating storage
of 64-bit values.
* Internal change: rename TypedVector to Vector and
ListBox (and related classes) to Panel.
