Yeah, this one is not enough ready. I have yet
some cases in which performances are a bit less than
with the bkl, for example with only one thread writer.

So there is still a bit of work, I plan it for .32
You can remove it from next since it is based on a .30-rc
release. I will soon provide a rebased tree once -rc1 is released.


Thanks.
