Comment (by brianlayman):

 I can agree with that. The .htaccess worried me much more than the site-
 new.php change. Most of the checks are fine because they look for "wp-"
 and/or specify what must be at the end of the url. The files redirect is
 the most problematic. Plus, I think it would be entirely reasonable to
 require people to customize .htaccess if they were going to try to
 implement this structure.

 The important thing is the site-new.php change so that you don't have to
 do a core hack to get this performance back.  In 99.9999% of the cases
 $current_site->path is going to be '/'.  I didn't do a thorough search for
 uses of $base as this one file change resolved the issue I was facing.

 I/any other willing volunteer, should do a thorough search to see that
 there are no other instances.  I just want to be careful not to break the
 situation where WordPress is installed in /blog/ or /wordpress/ or
 whatever.
