Really Thomas? You are judging my work flow with a patch that I posted
as RFC hoping to get benchmarks from, which I've only received a few
for, and I'm hoping to get more.

I've never posted that patch for inclusion, because it does need more
testing and even needs more cleaning up. I only posted it hoping to get
numbers to know if it is worth pursuing or not.

I even tell Clark not to use it as it is not ready for prime time yet.

And because you have never even acknowledged that patch until now,
I've pretty much considered it dead.
