Yes, I see what you mean, and what I'm trying to say is that we see eye to eye on
this.

As I mentioned above, the performace regression is compelling and I looked
into it on the night before and already found out why the regression was
produced (But I can not send patch over gmail at home because of the network,
maybe i'd like to try with GitGitGadget next time). I will not omit this problem
and go on working at it today, similarly, wouldn't reply this thread otherwise
the new patchset is reach the standard (As I see the "cooking" is let others know
what's new and the corresponding progress currently and discussions should still
be made under the "patch").

Thanks.
