Hi chenj,

My opinion is that the commit message is not ideal. If the http links
ever go away, the commit message will be mostly useless for someone
trying to understand the reason for this patch. I would suggest to
explain the reason for the optimizations in the commit message and put
the http links as a comment to this patch which will still be visible in
the mailing list archives. Or you can keep them in the commit message
but I think the reason for the patch should be explained as well.
