IMHO the Evo devs need to slow down with the features and work on
performance.  I've been watching the changelogs for the past few
releases and there are 50 new features added for every performance bug
fixed.

The 2.5 series does seem to be a bit faster than 2.4 so there is some
work being done in that direction, I'd just like to see more.
