As far as I am concerned that is way too much, particularly
considering that your test case isn't designed to be particularly
memory-allocation intensive, and if it is up to me I will reject this.Even a quarter-percent slowdown for a feature
thatwill be used only
by a small fraction of users only a small fraction of time time seems
totally unacceptable to me.
