If performance is to be the deciding factor between implementations, then we need to do the research and see what specifically makes the difference in performance. My hunch is the real difference in Sukas patches is the extra memory allocation, or some other stupid silly thing that we can optimize out and make things simpler, faster, and more maintainable.
