Does any test infrastructure (or benchmarks) exist which you would trust for
corresponding comparisons of software run time characteristics?

How do you think about to check possible improvements by each presented patch
according to affected SmPL scripts individually?

I try to avoid such claims.
But I provided specific information in my patch descriptions.
Do you find any details reasonable there?

Both. - The discussion will depend also on your change acceptance and desire
to extend development in the shown software design directions.

Thanks for your interest.


> If you see other potential risks, feel free to mention them.

I would prefer a more optimistic view while my software development
experiences can influence this considerably.


> You seem to know lots more than I do about these things.

This can be. - But I hope that you can get further inspirations and ideas
if you would find any of the published development activities interesting enough.
