We are engaging in a lot of -speculation- about an -alleged- performance
problem.  I have posted a fix to the actual performance problem, but the
guy reporting the original report of that problem has not yet reported
the performance of the fix.  Which is fine, as I am getting ready to
post an updated fix, and besides which he might well have higher-priority
tasks requiring his attention.  But without that performance information,
we are all just engaging in baseless speculation.
