I think Will and James should make the call on that.

My own opinion is that it's not usually a good idea to merge code that
increases complexity for no performance gain; if the feature is actually
important, someone should find a way to finish it and measure a
performance gain (the gain can be in any of bandwidth, memory, or
lower CPU utilization) with it, to prove that the change is worthwhile.

Thanks,

- Chris.
