As you can see (in the message you replied to) I inquired back then, and
was advised officially then. BTW, that's a bit like the concrete info
and explanations that were here all the time and it turns out you
admittedly saw, interacted with, and evaluated - all, as you say
yourself, very recently. I almost want to blush for you. :)

Priceless drama! Kittens and puppies massacred all over town, no doubt,
from my being alert enough to notice the problem when others did not,
and reporting some excellent test cases to prove that more areas were
affected than originally assumed. I file many pinpointed bugs, as you
know well from your CCs over the years. I'm sure a cluster of narrowed
examples would be nice for this performance issue too, nothing against
it, but who knows yet precisely how many or how few areas and individual
causes? Overlaps? Moot point, because I didn't have time for a cluster
of reports. Nor magical space/time control and travel to organize and
fit the problem to a separately-evolving set of solution/improvement
efforts (which I'm very hopeful about) that started with arrays.
I received good feedback about the test stack and the video; there was
enough time to create and maintain one test stack, and it needed to look
good and perform the video competition too. LC has a somewhat messy set
of performance issues, not of my own making, and reporting it on my own
time and expense had to be realistic and finite. Some people might not
have any real limitations on free time, anything goes, but others know.
I have beaten the odds as one of most prolific consultants and addon
developers despite extensive handicaps that take up considerable daily
time and energy themselves. It doesn't just happen that way by itself;
the system that makes it possible doesn't involve repeating, redoing,
and restating every single darn thing the livelong day. Precisely the
opposite; efficiency is key and it will never let you down if you apply
it consistently and strictly! Take care.
