I don't know. I just happen to revisit this topic every few days, and
every time I stumble upon some more performance improvements. It would
feel wrong to shift the goalposts of the other series every time I find
something new, so I instead opt for separate patch series.

If this proves to be annoying for reviewers, then feel free to shout at
me and I'll change my approach.

Thanks for your review!
