This results in around 5% speed up in the SPOA portion of Shasta code. It is a much smaller win in the grand scheme of things. But the modified code is clean and there's no good reason to turn our backs on an easy win like this.
Test Plan: Ran an assembly and the looked at the edge at http://:17100/exploreMarkerGraphEdge?edgeId=. It looks alright.
