I think the point is that you must want the improvement enough to accept such a crippling performance hit, presumably because it cuts so much time off development. If you will not (temporarily, see below) then RC is likely to assume you don't really want the improvement. If you want improvements, then proof positive that it does not cripple the performance of, or break, innocent bystanding programs, that do not use the feature, can only benefit your argument for them. >That is too slow for me, <snip> If _you_ are not interested long-term, why should Rob be? I think Rob has made a very bold move in releasing the open source eu.exw. He has not (afair) said so much but it can only be to solicit sensible improvements. Simpler, better, well-tested mods may well encourage him to release 2.6 sooner rather than later. No useable mods at all & I guarantee we'll wait as long as the 2.4 to 2.5 release.
