    No, I'll take the damn patch, but quite frankly, I think your arguments
    suck.

    I've told you so before, and asked for numbers, and all you do is
    handwave. And this is like the *third*time*, and you don't even seem to
    admit that you're handwaving.

    So let's do it, but dammit:
    - make sure there aren't any invalid statements like this in the final
    commit message.
    - if somebody shows that you were wrong, and points to a real load,
    please never *ever* make excuses for this again, ok?

    Is that a deal? I hope we'll never need to hear about this again, but I
    really object to the way you've tried to "sell" this thing, by basically
    starting out dishonest about what the problem was, and even now I've yet
    to see a *single* performance number even though I've asked for them
    (except for the problem case, which was introduced by *you*)
