Low hanging fruit: Performance patch

[Andrew Stitcher <as...@redhat.com>]

This patch improves the performance of my test by about 20%

It removes a lot of unnecessary string creation, as ...::check(...) is 
called for every CHECK_APR_SUCCESS(), and they are very frequent.

[At this point it seems I have come to the end of the "low hanging 
fruit" though. I'll have to do some real work to get performance wins]
