No; even though (as I said) people are aware of the problems and do plan to fix them, don't hold your breath. :(
ok, just for the record. if someone wants the time limit patch for the while loop in stage 2 (which solves the problem for me) and after some tweaking is able to provide a throughput of approx. 450MB/s in my case, i attached it. it also solves the case that due to a lot of dups the rate_limit does not kick in and end the while loop.
