It's relatively late on a Saturday night and I've spent the whole day
doing varnish yoga in 30 degree heat and 90% humidity, so my humor and
perspective may be completely gone, but ....

Not everything that improves the performance of SQL Server, Sybase,
Oracle, DB2, MySQL, Postgres, Ingres, SQLLite, SleepyCat, or MyISAM
improves the performance of others. Generalizing from the changes on
one system to requiring all to provide the same extra-standard features
makes those of us who are hot, sunburned, lame, and cranky write rude
responses.

Cheers,
