Anybody got any candidates for a series of transactions that would benefit from this mode? If yes, is it possible to detect an efficiency benefit from enabling burst mode for that series? yes, i like "boot_ec" better than "ec_ecdt". as usual, they patch series is "light" on check-in comments -- in particular, there are none at all explaining why these changes are necessary. thanks, -Len ps. mbox applies better if "From" is not replaced by ">From"
