I've thought about making it optional, but the bottomline is that the kluge-factor increases every time we need to add another workaround. Kluges require maintenance and that's where the problem is. And since this is only about performance, I'd rather remove micro-optimizations than disable normal compiler optimizations by way of kernel options. My PoV: anyone with an interest to actually work on it is in a position to preempt everything I do. I'm just trying to extend life and keeping bit of grace and quality if possible... -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net
