If you're saying that you're OK with the work Vadim has done please
let him know, I'm assuming he hasn't committed out of respect for your
still standing objection.
If you're terribly against it then say so again, I just would rather
it not happen because you objected rather than missed communication.
As far as the work you're proposing, how much of a gain is it over
the current code? 2x? 3x? 20x? :) There's a difference between a
slight performance increase and something too good to pass up.
thanks,
