For whatever it's worth, I consider my capability limited to making sure the
patch applies and coming up with a few interesting ways of testing it out, but
not seriously studying the code and knowing when there might be a competitive
alternative implementation. I don't yet understand the issues that have been
raised, but will quit working to review the patch if you feel it's not ready.
Thanks for letting me know; I hope a solution to the problems you've brought
up is forthcoming.
