Yeah.  So what's the deal with this?  Is somebody working on figuring
out a different approach that would reduce this overhead?  Are we
going to defer WARM to v11?  Or is the intent to just ignore the 5-10%
slowdown on a single column update and commit everything anyway?  (A
strong -1 on that course of action from me.)
