Comment(by tomeu):

 I would like to see some discussion about how we should approach
 performance improvements. If we agree that to gain performance we need to
 give something back (memory, more time to develop, more time to maintain,
 etc.), if we don't quantify first the benefits we cannot do an informed
 decision about what's best to do.

 I would like to know how that patch improves the user experience.

 If it addresses bottlenecks that are affecting user experience, then we
 should consider the different alternatives that we have for speeding up
 those points.

 My suspicion is that we don't have much computational intensive code
 inside sugar. And that those parts could be quite easily rewritten in C
 giving us that speed boost without incrementing memory usage nor
 introducing an unknown amount of instability.

 To summarize: measure first, then discuss the different alternatives and
 try to evaluate the different drawbacks of each.
