The branch/patch for this RFC is based against the master branch right now, and so that's what
was tested against.
So far we have not seen any changes in perf characteristics between the current 5.5 and 5.6.0a1.
All those numbers are on w.p.n if you're curious.

When the patch is merged I'll be sure to get you those numbers ;)

Isn't that what the discussion is for? Anyone voting must be following this list, otherwise
how would they even know to vote?
Thanks,
