If I understand Jason correctly, he's trying to say that although this work doesn't show improvements by itself, however it paves the way such that optimizaations done in the future will be more visible. I kind of can see Michael's viewpoint too, in that we should put this stuff in later when it does actually show some difference. Therefore, I'll mark both patch sets as "deferred" for now. Let me know if I should do something else. Thanks!
