You know very well that if I did, I would not be speaking here, but
instead coding and committing.

I don't disagree with the principle, but the results are evidently not
very satisfactory.

Evidently, the improvement is not enough, see the rest of this thread.

You didn't mention scaling, which seems to be the trigger for this
thread.
