You have filed bugs against said regressions? Performance regressions
are serious business. Send me the bug #s offlist. I would like to
track them.
Spending loads of engineering time re-inventing the wheel is folly.
It often isn't faster, is generally buggier, and consumes a ton of
time that could be better used actually shipping something.
Not to be meant as an insult to anyone's engineering skills on this
list. Simply that if you were to focus as much time on optimizing and
debugging an algorithm found in a system library as the engineers who
wrote and now maintain said library, you are unlikely going to have
enough time left over to ship your product.
