What's wrong with you point here is that

We are not going make it more worse because it is worse.

We would like same any single bit of the performance.


It's about the beauty, and beauty and correctness is every thing.


My implement is good both in the perspective of beauty and in the 
perspective of the performance.

BO creation is fast or not is irrelevant to what the point we are discuss.

You are always introduce non-critical factor to disturb the discuss,

leading the people go a wrong direction.
