I see. Isn't there some performance price?
Probably, yes. OTOH some things are quite a bit faster now, so
it's hard to tell.
I guess this is not something I can consider for 1.4.
If we don't get mispositioning/coordcache crashes in 1.4, then
not.

Are there plans to implement that for 1.5?
Not so far as I can tell.
There are probably easier ways to may things faster...
