What is the benchmark exactly? I can imagine that a 20% improvement in latency of address book retrieval might be interesting to investigate, if it (for example) made contact autocompletion in Evolution noticeably faster to the end user. But my opinion is that removing or reducing the asserts in D-BUS to improve an artificial benchmark unrelated to end user tasks like "how many contacts can my script retrieve per second" isn't interesting. We could spend all day optimizing desktop IPC, but our real speed problems are elsewhere (see Lorenzo Colitti's work).
