So looking at this example, I guess on the second "nonslow" run it found
/tmp/Mod_MyTest_fastfact.so there already and reused it?

I haven't looked at the sources or anything, so I'm just going from this
one example, but what would have happened if a naughty user had come
along first and created a /tmp/Mod_MyTest_fastfact.so that Did Mean
Things?
