Addressing the bottlenecks is simply time consuming due to the fact that any bugs introduced during development potentially impact many users. -Kip On Sun, Apr 22, 2012 at 4:14 AM, Adrian Chadd wrote: > Hi, > > This honestly sounds like it's begging for an > instrumentation/analysis/optimisation project. > > What do we need to do? > > > Adrian --=20 =A0 =A0=93The real damage is done by those millions who want to 'get by.' The ordinary men who just want to be left in peace. Those who don=92t want their little lives disturbed by anything bigger than themselves. Those with no sides and no causes. Those who won=92t take measure of their own strength, for fear of antagonizing their own weakness. Those who don=92t like to make waves=97or enemies. =A0 =A0Those for whom freedom, honour, truth, and principles are only literature. Those who live small, love small, die small. It=92s the reductionist approach to life: if you keep it small, you=92ll keep it under control. If you don=92t make any noise, the bogeyman won=92t find you. =A0 =A0But it=92s all an illusion, because they die too, those people who roll up their spirits into tiny little balls so as to be safe. Safe?! >From what?
